Excerpt from timesnownews.com

As international tourism rebounds globally, South Korea’s Jeju Island is rolling out a pioneering measure to counter overtourism and ensure visitor respect for local life. Overtourism around the globe has intensified concerns at popular sites like Jeju, where residents have voiced mounting frustration over disruptive tourist behaviour.

The Jeju Police Multilingual Etiquette Initiative

Responding to local complaints, Jeju police have introduced what’s reportedly South Korea’s first multilingual etiquette notice, printed in Korean, English, and Chinese. Approximately 8,000 guides are now in circulation, meant to bridge language and cultural gaps and educate visitors on community standards. Jeju officials say the effort aims to "prevent misunderstandings due to language and cultural differences and improve foreigners’ understanding of Korean culture and laws."
