Jeju Offers Incentives for Group Tourists in the New Year
제주특별자치도
Starting in early 2026, Jeju Island has introduced a generous incentive program aimed at group tourists, offering local currency support and transportation subsidies.
Groups meeting specific size requirements can receive Jeju’s local currency, Tamna Money, helping reduce travel costs while encouraging spending in local communities.
This program is designed as a win-win model, benefiting both travelers and Jeju’s small businesses and traditional markets.
Jeju’s 2026 Group Tourist Incentive Program Overview
Hello everyone.
Starting from the beginning of the New Year 2026, Jeju Island has launched an exciting incentive program for group tourists.
If you’re part of a group of 15 or more, each member can receive 30,000 KRW worth of Jeju local currency called Tamna Money.
The total support can reach up to 2 million KRW per group, making it a meaningful benefit for larger gatherings.
Who Can Receive Tamna Money?
Many people wonder whether this incentive applies only to flights, but the answer is broader.
Not only air travel groups of 15 or more, but also ferry groups of 10 or more are eligible for the same support.
Groups arriving in Jeju via ferry or cruise tours can also receive 30,000 KRW per person in Tamna Money.
This wide eligibility allows more types of group travelers to enjoy financial relief during their trip.
Additional Benefits for Sister Cities and Partner Organizations
The program also extends to groups of 20 or more from sister cities or organizations that have agreements with Jeju.
This makes it especially attractive for official exchanges, institutional visits, and organized associations.
Various gatherings can now enjoy Jeju travel with significantly reduced financial pressure.
Special Support for Travel Agencies and School Groups
There are also tailored benefits for travel agencies and educational groups.
If a Jeju-based travel agency brings in a package group of 10 or more, they receive additional support for travel-related expenses such as vehicle rental fees.
This makes group tour planning more flexible and financially efficient.
Reduced Burden for School Trips
For school trips from the metropolitan area and other regions, groups of 10 or more can receive transportation cost support.
This includes assistance with bus rental fees, which is expected to significantly reduce the burden on schools and parents.
It’s welcome news for educational trips, clubs, and sports team excursions.
How to Apply and Receive Tamna Money
One important point to note is that this incentive cannot be applied for immediately upon arrival.
The group representative must complete an online application before visiting Jeju.
After arriving, simply visit the Jeju Comprehensive Tourism Information Center at Jeju Airport.
By submitting proof documents such as flight tickets or e-tickets, Tamna Money can be collected on the spot.
Supporting the Local Economy Through Jeju Local Currency
This group tourist incentive program is designed to go beyond simple discounts.
Tamna Money is mainly used at local alley shops, traditional markets, and small businesses across Jeju.
As tourists spend the currency shortly after arrival, local merchants naturally benefit from increased sales.
Travelers enjoy lower travel costs, while the local economy gains new vitality.
Why You Shouldn’t Miss This in 2026
If you’re planning a group trip to Jeju in 2026, this incentive program is definitely worth checking.
With support for local currency, transportation costs, and group travel logistics, it creates a true win-win situation.
Both tourists and local businesses benefit, forming a virtuous cycle that makes Jeju travel even more rewarding.
