Two days are barely enough to scratch the shiny surface of Seoul, but it’s a start. Undoubtedly others might recommend different itineraries altogether, but that’s the beauty of a big city – there are always new areas to discover.

The interest in green/environmental/sustainable tourism has grown massively over the last decade and just about every destination preaches its green credentials. Brighton, for example, has been voted green capital of the UK. Kent has recently won £700,000 funding from the European Union for “coastal actions on sustainable tourism” whatever that means and Anglesey received funds a little while ago for coastal improvements. From further afield comes an example from South Korea where it is suggested that the demilitarised zone between North and South Korea becomes an ecological preservation area to protect wildlife.
