International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Thomas Bach is scheduled to arrive in PyeongChang, the site of the 2018 Winter Games, on Tuesday.

Bach will land at Incheon International Airport and take the new KTX high-speed train to Jinbu Station, located in PyeongChang.

Bach will tour competition venues and Olympic Villages. He's set to chair the IOC's executive board meeting and its general session from Feb. 3 to 8.

PyeongChang 2018, to run from Feb. 9 to 25, will be the largest Winter Olympics in history, with 2,925 athletes from 92 nations set to participate in 15 sports. It will offer a record 102 gold medals.

Earlier this month, Bach chaired a meeting of representatives from South and North Korea, and produced a landmark agreement on a joint Korean march at the opening ceremony and a unified women's ice hockey team. (Yonhap)
