Support is also available for events that use unique venues
Brought to you by Jeju Convention Bureau
The Jeju Convention Bureau (CVB) is spearheading efforts to position Jeju as a premier MICE destination, emphasising unique venue offerings and sustainable practices. By promoting these event spaces and eco-friendly initiatives, Jeju is set to offer MICE participants unique experiences that leverage its scenic natural surroundings.
Expansion of Unique Venues
A key part of Jeju CVB’s strategy is the Unique Venues project, which aims to provide MICE participants with distinctive experiences by utilising spaces that showcase Jeju’s unique nature and culture.
Since the project’s inception in 2020, Jeju has curated a diverse portfolio of venues that enhance event satisfaction through their exceptional ambiance and facilities.
This year, it has added three new Unique Venues to its roster — Snoopy Garden, The Cliff, and Yeomiji Botanical Garden — bringing the total to 16.
These selections were made following rigorous assessments by MICE experts, who evaluated the venues based on their charm, utility, safety, and eco-friendly features.
Snoopy Garden: This venue comprises a themed-based exhibition hall and park centered around the beloved character Snoopy from Charles Monroe Schulz’s “Peanuts” comic strip. It provides an idyllic setting for meetings and leisurely exploration of the island’s natural beauty.
The Cliff: Situated by Seogwipo Beach, The Cliff is a café that offers breathtaking ocean views. Its romantic setting is ideal for both indoor and outdoor events, combining scenic beauty with versatile event space.
Yeomiji Botanical Garden: Known as “beautiful land,” Yeomiji Botanical Garden is a large greenhouse showcasing a variety of tropical and exotic plants. With extensive experience in hosting international events, it offers a range of themed outdoor gardens that provide a lush, vibrant backdrop for any event.
To encourage the use of these Unique Venues, the Jeju CVB offers an incentive programme that provide financial support of 20,000 KRW (approximately 20 USD) per participant, up to a maximum of 10,000,000 KRW (approximately 10,000 USD) for MICE events held at these venues. This initiative is designed to attract more events to Jeju and ensure that participants can fully experience the island’s unique charm.
Green commitment
In addition, Jeju CVB is actively working to establish Jeju as a safe and sustainable MICE city under the slogan WE GREEN JEJU.
It has obtained ISO 20121: Event Sustainability Management System certification, which sets a global standard for managing events sustainably. This certification underscores the bureau’s dedication to operating MICE events in an economically, environmentally, and socially responsible manner.
Jeju CVB also supports local MICE businesses in obtaining and maintaining the ISO 20121 certification. The annual Jeju Green MICE Council further supports this goal by bringing together MICE experts to share innovative ideas and strategies for sustainable development of the sector.
The bureau has also developed a Green MICE manual, which provides comprehensive guidelines for organising environmentally friendly events. To incentivise the adoption of these practices, the bureau offers incentives for events that implement the manual’s recommendations.
Through these initiatives, Jeju CVB continues to promote the value of the island’s MICE industry and contribute to the overall attractiveness of it as a destination that values and protects its natural environment. Expectations and interest are high for the bureau’s future projects.
