The organization earned recognition for its “Jeju-style ESG management model” which connects environmental preservation, regional economic revitalization, and tourism welfare for vulnerable groups. Jeju Tourism Organization pioneered a “basic social model for welfare tourism” across the country, expanding tourism into the public service sector.
The organization also created a collaborative fund involving public corporations and financial institutions in the Jeju region to support small business owners and companies. In addition to these efforts, Jeju Tourism Organization spearheaded the spread of eco-friendly tourism through the ‘Green Jeju Campaign’, collecting over 7 tons of waste last year. The organization aims to ensure the benefits of tourism are shared across the local community, tourism businesses, and those in need.
Ko Seung-cheol, President of Jeju Tourism Organization, stated the organization will continue to expand its ESG management to ensure tourism benefits reach all sectors of society.
