Jeju Island, South Korea’s largest resort island known for its volcanic landscapes and sandy beaches, is gearing up to host a large-scale Pok\u00e9mon-themed event this fall to boost local tourism and attract visitors from home and abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On July 17, the Korea Tourism Organization (KTO) announced that it had signed a strategic partnership agreement with Pok\u00e9mon Korea, the Jeju Tourism Organization, and the Jungmun Tourist Complex Council to launch the “2025 Pok\u00e9mon Jeju Project: Pok\u00e9mon Wonder Island.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event will run from October 2 to 26, centered around the Jungmun Tourist Complex and Yeomiji Botanical Garden in Seogwipo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main attractions will include a Pok\u00e9mon-themed photo zone and information booth at Jeju International Airport, a Pok\u00e9mon GO stamp rally around the Jungmun area, a pop-up store and mission tour at Yeomiji Botanical Garden, and Korea’s first-ever Pok\u00e9mon Run event. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Organizers plan to announce more details through Pok\u00e9mon Korea’s official channels and Jeju’s tourism portal, VisitJeju.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Park Jung-woong, head of the KTO’s Jeju office, said the event is expected to help revive Jeju’s tourism industry, which has struggled with a drop in domestic visitors, and promote the Jungmun area to international audiences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Jeju Tourism Organization official added that leveraging Pok\u00e9mon’s global popularity would offer a fresh way to experience Jeju while boosting the island’s economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The upcoming event follows the success of the “Flying Pikachu Project in Jeju”<\/strong> held in 2023 at Tamna Culture Square in Jeju City, which drew about 3,000 participants, including locals and international tourists, and was met with an enthusiastic response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jeju Island is South Korea’s largest and most visited island, located off the country’s southern coast. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It attracts about 13.8 million visitors annually, drawn by its natural beauty, local culture, and vibrant cuisine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At its center stands Hallasan, a dormant volcano rising 6,388 feet, surrounded by dramatic lava tube caves like Manjanggul, coastal cliffs, and scenic beaches such as Jungmun, Hyeopjae, and Gwangchigi. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2007, its natural wonders – including Hallasan Nature Reserve, the lava tubes, and Seongsan Ilchulbong – were designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
