Jeju Island, along with the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Tourism Organization, announced on the 15th that it will operate the '2026 Korea Accommodation Sale Festa Second Half' from the 22nd to November 8th.
In this event, discount coupons will be issued on a first-come, first-served basis to lodging facilities in 12 participating local governments nationwide, including Jeju.
In Jeju, in addition to the general lodging discounts operated in the first half of the year, a new 'Island Regional Service' that can be used on attached islands such as Chujado and Udo is being operated.
For the island region, you can get a 50,000 won discount if you book an accommodation product that costs more than 70,000 won per night, and a 30,000 won discount if you book a product that costs more than 30,000 won but less than 70,000 won per night.
For general lodging, a discount of 30,000 won is given for accommodation products costing more than 70,000 won per night, and 20,000 won is given for products priced between 20,000 won and less than 70,000 won per night.
The plan is to increase discounts in island areas to revitalize tourism to attached islands such as Chujado and Udo, and to expand travel demand throughout the province.
A ‘consecutive night discount’ for tourists staying more than two nights will also continue.
If you stay for 2 nights or more and pay more than 140,000 won, you can receive a 70,000 won discount.
General lodging discount coupons are issued through 12 online channels, including G Market, Pet Life, KakaoTalk Reservation, My Real Trip, Privia Travel, NOL, Web Tour, Mammam, Trip Topaz, Trip Bitoz, Stayfolio, and 11th Street.
Discount coupons for island regional flights are issued separately by ‘Eogi Eottae’ and may end early when the prepared quantity is exhausted.
Jeju Island plans to increase the discount range for island areas by up to 20,000 won compared to general lodging to expand the movement and consumption of tourists from the main island to the subsidiary islands.
Jeju Island Tourism Exchange Director Hwang Gyeong-seon said, “We hope that tourists will experience Jeju’s diverse charms by staying not only on the main island of Jeju but also on its affiliated islands, and that this will serve as an opportunity for tourism consumption to spread to every corner of the region.”
