Jeju Workation with Global Digital Nomads (Hoppin; Jeju),' hosted by Jeju Province and the International Convention Center Jeju (ICC Jeju), has concluded successfully.
The event, held from last month on the 31st to the 7th of this month, was attended by 30 digital nomads from 14 countries, including the United States, France, and Australia.
Organized by the global workation startup Hoppers Inc., this event was designed to attract overseas digital nomads and create a global workation ecosystem.
Participants worked in shared workation offices and enjoyed Jeju's unique cultural experiences during their leisure time, such as walking Olle trails, hiking Oreums (volcanic cones), and tangerine picking.
In particular, networking events linked with the local community received a great response. Major sessions were operated at the startup networking conference 'JOIN 2024,' and during 'Digital Nomad Meetup Day,' participants discussed Jeju's potential and areas for improvement as a global workation city with Korean digital nomads and young entrepreneurs living in Jeju.
Participant satisfaction surveys confirmed high satisfaction with the program and a 100% intention to participate again.
Notably, 77% of those wishing to revisit expressed a desire for long-term stays of more than 3 weeks even after the event ended. Participants expressed satisfaction with the workation workspaces and suggested expanding exchange opportunities with local residents.
Global promotional effects are expected through Hoppers' SNS channels, including the newsletter of the representative domestic community 'Digital Nomads Korea.'
Jeju Province plans to push for the introduction of a 'Jeju-type Digital Nomad Visa' that combines the visa-free entry system with a workation visa. In line with the government's policy to attract overseas talent, the province plans to ease visa issuance criteria and actively attract global digital talent.
