The 2026 Year of Island Visits reexamines the ecological and cultural assets of Korea's islands and launches Korea's leap forward as a world-leading island tourism powerhouse that is drawing global attention. In particular, 2026 is linked with the '2026 Yeosu World Island Expo,' the world's first expo held on the theme of islands, providing even richer sights and things to enjoy. By spreading the expo's excitement to islands nationwide and through a variety of programs running throughout 2026, from travel expense support promotions for island trips to cultural week events, visitors can directly experience the true rest and new vitality that islands offer.
