About
The 2026 Year of Island Visits shines a new light on the ecological and cultural treasures of Korea's islands and launches Korea's leap toward becoming a world-class island tourism destination. In 2026 in particular, it ties in with the 2026 Yeosu World Island Expo, the world's first expo themed on islands, offering even more to see and do. Spreading the Expo's excitement to islands across the country, a wide range of programs runs throughout 2026, from island travel subsidy promotions to cultural week events, so you can experience the true rest and fresh energy that islands offer.
