In particular, 2026 will provide richer attractions and activities in connection with the '2026 Yeosu World Island Expo', the first of its kind in the world focused on islands. The excitement of the expo will spread to islands nationwide, allowing visitors to experience the true relaxation and new vitality that islands offer through a variety of programs throughout 2026, including travel subsidies for island trips and cultural week events.
