TOURISM in Renfrewshire is set for a boost, thanks to a new partnership between Glasgow Airport and a holiday firm in Korea.

The Paisley-based terminal is to welcome four direct flights from South Korea this summer, bringing more than 1,000 tourists to the area.

Korean Air and tour operator Hanjin Travel have announced the inbound charter flights from the country’s capital Seoul, with the first service arriving in July.

Steven Marshall, head of airline marketing and development at Glasgow Airport, said: “This underlines Scotland’s global appeal as a tourist destination and highlights the growth in demand we are experiencing from Asian tourist markets.”
