About the event

The 2026 Visit Islands Year sheds new light on the ecological and cultural assets of Korea's islands and gets under way in earnest to make Korea a leading island tourism country that the world watches. In particular, 2026 is linked with the ‘2026 Yeosu World Island Expo’, the world's first expo themed on islands, offering even more to see and enjoy. The excitement of the expo will spread to islands across the country, and through a variety of programs held throughout 2026, from island travel cost support promotions to culture week events, you can experience the true rest and new energy that islands offer.

Main programs

• Offline program: proclamation ceremony
• Online programs: island travel cost support promotion / ‘Island I Want to Visit’ event / ‘One Person, One Island’ event, and more
