Visitors experience the thrill of virtual snowboarding at the PyeongChang ICT Pavilion, opened at the PyeongChang Olympic Plaza in Pyeongchang-gun County, Gangwon-do Province, on Nov. 29.
“It’s safe to say that one of the domestic industries that has seen rapid growth since the Seoul 1988 Olympic Games is definitely IT,” said Minister of Science and ICT Yoo Young-min. “As the nation hosts an Olympic Games for the first time in about three decades, our ministry will pull out all the stops in the run-up to the PyeongChang Winter Games to make the global sporting event a successful ‘IT Olympics.’”
The PyeongChang ICT Pavilion is currently open only on Wednesdays and Saturdays until the PyeongChang Games start on Feb. 9 next year. Please book tickets in advance by calling 02-2156-9104.
During the Olympics, the venue will be open every day from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.
