South Korean autumn tourism initiatives
Overview
South Korean tourism authorities have launched several initiatives to promote domestic travel during the autumn season. The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Tourism Organization introduced the ‘South Korea Landmark Discovery 100x100 Project’, which features 6,336 landmarks selected by public vote.
Specific promotional activities include the ‘Professional Wanderer’s Stamp Tour - Autumn Edition’, offering themed travel routes such as sunset drives and mountain exploration, and a ‘Funny Travel Photo Festival’.
To assist travelers, the Korea Tourism Organization and the Korea Forest Service National Arboretum released a ‘2026 Foliage Map’. This guide provides peak autumn foliage timings for various regions, including the Seoul metropolitan area, Gangwon Province, and Jeju Island. The map’s predictions are supported by data from the ‘Plant Phenology Observation Project’, a citizen science initiative.
