A number of tourist is coming to Jeju more and more. It is so brisk as much as make a tourist record change continuously. According to the tourist association in Jeju, the number of tourist visited to Jeju until last month totaled up to 4, 456,201 people. Among this, it is 4,070,989 forlocal people and 385,312 for foreigner. This is 74.3% of their goal, 6,000,000 peple in this year.
yoonjong Jung, the director of tourist association in Jejudo, said that Jeju had the special benefit thanks to a lot of tourist for last one month, which was over 90 percent untilization rate on the plane and ship, hotel and condominium, pension and rent-a-car etc.
The main reason for immensely visit to Jeju is to avoid a trip abroad because of swine flu.
And also, one of the main reasons is a walking tour named "Olle" in Jeju.
Many people want to walk the 250km walking course named Jeju Olle. The route was made by connecting the small path to village which has field, mountain, beach. Hanla tracking course becomes famous and Geomunorym in Hanla mountain was designated to natural inheritance in UNESCO for the first time.
Olle is a Jeju dialect which means a by-street from a main road to the house. Jeju Olle was made by Myungsuk Han who is a former worker in the press. She pioneered first the course of Siheung Sungsan Seogypo on September, 2007. Now, Olle has fifteen courses in Jeju."Jeju that we have seen until now was not a real Jeju. If we take one day in the course of Olle, we can have a history, nature, people in Jeju" she said.
I'd love to walk that path, but it would take a long time. I don't even know how many km I could walk in a day.
ReplyDeleteDo you know if they have any packages? For instance, it would be nice to have a series of hotels that people could hike to and a car that could take their luggage from hotel to hotel. Something well-organized like that would be a lot of fun.
