South Korea’s Juju Island cracks down on tourists behaving badly
South Korea’s island hotspot of Jeju has issued a guide on how to be a good tourist following several newsworthy incidents of bad behaviour.
It welcomed over 13 million visitors last year but with these came an increase in disorderly behavior.
This includes nearly two million foreign tourists.
It has published 8,000 copies of multilingual guides that outlines what misdemeanors can get tourists in trouble and fined.
It is in Korean, English and Chinese.
It covers where smoking in not allowed, jaywalking, littering and environmental issues that can lead to fines.
“These offences shall be punishable by misdemeanor imprisonment or by a minor fine,” the guide says.
The patience of Jeju residents has been wearing thin as the number of foreign tourists increase and viral incidents become more common.
