Congratulations to The Jeju Weekly on your fourth anniversary!

The Jeju Weekly is the global representative newspaper of Jeju Island. It is distributed to 60 countries and accessed from 176 countries online. I hope it expands its horizons further so that it is enjoyed all over the world and it becomes one of Jeju’s beloved newspapers.

Jeju Island is a treasure Island for all seven billion of the world’s people. This year the number of foreign tourists is already up 40 percent and over 1 million tourists per month are visiting Jeju Island. Ten million foreign tourists also visit Korea and It is becoming more important to offer diverse high-quality content to tourists.

Blazing a trail for this new era, The Jeju Weekly has been creating unique Jeju content that can be shared and touched by English speakers the world over. I appreciate all of the work you have put in over the last four years to report on Jeju’s diverse attractions. I truly hope that The Jeju Weekly will continue its success.
