Foreign businesses take one of two roads — the road of assimilation or the role of education. A hotel is a bit different because it has to fill both of these roles at once. The Holiday Inn in Gwangju has been under the leadership of Michael Wilson for the past two years and over that time it has really worked itself into the fabric of the city as something both local and foreign all at once; it is a melting pot of east meets west and it doesn’t cut back on any of it.
