South Korea police told the tourists on the island of Eid Gigo to act

For the first time, the police in Jeju issued guidelines for foreign visitors to act or confront fines, as the South Korean island sees an increasing number of tourists.

Jeju police issued the guide after complaints from the local population about the misconduct of foreigners, including garbage and allowing children to defecate the street.

The local police say that the guide – printed in Chinese, English and Korean – is the first of its kind in the country, and comes during the peak summer season.

Jeju, a volcanic island south of the Korean Peninsula, is popular with its beaches, walking paths and mountain views on which the wind is raised. Foreign visitors also come to Jeju for shopping and gambling.

The evidence aims to “prevent misunderstanding due to linguistic and cultural differences and improve foreigners’ understanding of Korean culture and laws,” said the head of the Jeju Kim Suung Police Agency.

Kim said that eight thousand copies of the guide will be printed and distributed immediately.

The guide recounts the “simple crimes” punishable by fines. These smoking include in the prohibited areas, scattering, walking behavior, drinking and uncontrolled, and escaping from restaurants without paying the price of meals, urinating or defecating in public places, using a fake identifier, infringement of the lens and storming to empty houses.

Violators are first abandoned by a warning, but frequent criminals can be fined up to $ 200,000 ($ 143; 106 pounds), according to a copy of the police evidence.

South Korea has witnessed a strong recovery after birth in tourism. Jeju alone welcomed seven million visitors so far this year, according to the local media.

In 2024, foreign visitors pumped a record 9.26 trillion Won into the local economy. Nearly 70 % of these visitors visiting Gigo were from China.

The island’s campaign is also shed light on how the hot points of tourism respond all over Asia for extra tourism.
