Gyeongju Hwabaek International Convention Center (HICO) opened its doors in March 2015 and has since served as platform for a wide range of domestic and international events.

HICO is an integral part of modern day Gyeongju. Formerly the capital of the Silla Kingdom, Gyeongju was best known for its rich history and sumptuous culture. Today, it stands as the City of Creativity and Tourism, driven by new impetus like the convention industry. We are pleased to contribute to the industry and city’s progress through our efforts.

Above all, we are dedicated to making your event shine. HICO’s state-of-the-art facilities and capable professionals help turn events into memorable experiences. Visitors can be assured of a well-organized event and, thanks to HICO’s placement within the popular Bomun Tourist Complex, enjoy a variety of sightseeing and recreational activities.

Please look around our website and inquire about further details. HICO and the people of Gyeongju are waiting to welcome you with our unique combination of the latest developments in the convention industry and a thousand-year old tradition of hospitality.

Thank you.
