Policy Issues and Strategies for Sustainable Island Tourism

Inter-Islands Tourism Policy Forum(ITOP Forum) was established in 1997 by Jeju and three local governments(Bali, Indonesia, Hainan, China, and Okinawa, Japan) through the geographical and industrial homogeneity of islands and tourism. It has grown into 10 member regions and 3 general observer regions.
The balanced growth of the economic benefits and the effect on the environment and community from tourism within the restricted area of ​​the island are absolute values ​​for the island tourist area. Through the Jeju Forum, a forum for discussing multilateral cooperation between peace and common prosperity, the ITOP Forum provides opportunities for sharing core values ​​and policies and contributes to improving Jeju's global status.
