The Jeju Tourism Organization (JTO) is an organization of Jeju Special Self-Governing Province in the Republic of Korea (South Korea). It is tasked with promoting Jeju Island’s tourism industry domestically and internationally.[1]
The JTO was established in 2008 as a government-invested corporation promoting Jeju Island as a tourist destination for both domestic and international tourists. Its headquarters, called the Jeju Welcome Center, is located located in the Yeon-dong neighborhood of Jeju City, near the Jeju provincial government complex.
Its mandate includes:
The JTO operates a Jeju travel information website VisitJeju.net in multiple languages (Korean, English, Chinese, Japanese) as well as the Jeju Tourist Information Center.
Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, inbound travelers to Jeju topped 15 million domestic and 1.5 million international visitors. The visa policy of Jeju Province, applied to 180 nationalities and allowed for stays of up to 30 days when arriving directly from overseas. It has since been suspended[4] due to national and provincial pandemic prevention measures.
