Jeju Island Implements Tourist Conduct Guide to Address Overtourism

Jeju Island Implements Tourist Conduct Guide to Address Overtourism

Jeju Island in South Korea has created a guide for tourists to help them behave well and understand local rules.

Because many tourists visit, and some have caused issues, the guide lists actions like littering and public urination that could lead to fines.

It's written in multiple languages to help visitors understand.

First-time offenses get a warning, but repeat issues mean paying up to 200,000 won.

This is part of a wider attempt to handle the impacts of tourism, as overtourism is a problem in several places around the world.
