“It’s the downside to economic development,” said Charm Lee, President and CEO of the Korean Tourism Organization. “People don’t take enough time to reflect. They don’t have enough time to refresh their minds, souls, and bodies.
Lee, who has lived in Korea since 1978, “charmed” and inspired the SolBridge audience with his highly charged and enthusiastic presentation in which he showed how the growth of tourism culture provides a society with the opportunity in most cases, to discover its roots and values.

The key to success in today’s ever-changing business world, according to John Walker, Executive Director at Macquarie Group Limited and Chairman of Macquarie Group of Companies, Korea is diversity.

Speaking before a packed auditorium on November 8, 2011, for the 12th Platinum Series Lecture, Walker talked about the history of the Macquarie Group, their inroads into the Korean market, as well as offering advice to students for how they can achieve success in today’s business world.
