Year of Island Visits

Year of Island Visits casts new light on the ecological and cultural assets of Korea's islands and begins Korea's rise as an island tourism destination the world takes notice of. In 2026 it is linked with the Yeosu World Island Expo, the world's first expo on the theme of islands, for even more to see and do. The expo's energy spreads to islands nationwide, and through a year of programs — from island travel subsidy promotions to culture week events — you can experience for yourself the real rest and fresh energy that islands offer.
