Jeju Island in South Korea is planning to introduce NFT-based digital tourism cards by late 2025. This initiative aims to attract Gen Z tourists and boost regional economic growth.

Objectives of Introducing NFT Cards

Jeju Island plans to introduce NFT-based tourism cards to drive economic growth and attract Gen Z tourists. The cards will provide users with exclusive benefits such as travel subsidies, membership perks, and discounts at local attractions. These features are designed to increase local spending and economic activity while enhancing the tourist experience. Moreover, the cards will allow users to securely document their travel experiences on the blockchain.

Blockchain Initiatives on Jeju Island

Jeju Island has a strong history of adopting blockchain and cryptocurrency innovations. In 2019, the island's government launched a project to develop a blockchain-based city. By 2020, they introduced a regional digital currency, Tamna Jeon, and announced plans to integrate cryptocurrencies into the island's economy. In March 2024, local officials discussed using NFTs in tourism, including museums and restaurants. The new initiative will build upon these efforts, integrating Tamna Jeon into the cards.

Context within South Korea

This initiative is part of broader efforts to integrate blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies in South Korea. Recently, Eun-bo Jeong, Chairman of the South Korea Exchange, emphasized the importance of institutionalizing cryptocurrencies and introducing crypto ETFs to revitalize the financial market. He highlighted the significance of such assets in attracting investors, particularly amid political instability and market disruptions.

The introduction of NFT cards on Jeju Island represents a significant step towards developing a blockchain economy and attracting the next generation of tourists. It also reflects global trends and South Korea's ambition to become a leader in the digital and creative industries.
