Jeju Olle is also promoting an environmental campaign to minimize waste generation, including encouraging participants to bring tumblers and strictly practicing recycling.

An Eun-joo, CEO of Jeju Olle, stated, “Walking the Jeju Olle trails alone is wonderful, but experiencing the festive atmosphere during the Jeju Olle Walking Festival is even better. As the slogan “A Festival Worth Walking For” suggests, we are preparing a mobile festival where participants can fully enjoy the autumn scenery, local foods, and various performances.” |
