“…The number of annual visitors on Jeju Island rapidly increased to 10 million around 2010, reaching 15 million since 2016. Notably, the number of domestic tourists has shown an increase in the number of days of staying along with the prevalence of new tourism pattern of long-term stays called 'Living in Jeju for a Month' (Chang et al, 2019). On December 26, the Jeju Provincial Office announced that the total number of tourists for a year until December 25, 2019, increased by 6.6% year-on-year to 15.2 million, including 1.7 million foreigners (Jeju Weekly, 2020).…”

“…In particular, Jeju Province, Korea's largest island, has only 700,000 residents, with annual visitors exceeding 10 million for the first time in 2013. Since 2015, 150 million people visited the island -20 times more than the resident population (Chang, Heo, & Lim, 2019). Moreover, Jeju is considered an anthropologically-sensitive area in that the majority of tourists are domestic visitors compared to other competitive tourist destinations in Asia such as Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore and Jakarta.…”

The purpose of this study is to analyze how the problems caused by overtourism affect the quality of life of Jeju residents and their perceptions of the overtourism phenomenon by exploring related factors for future policy implications. In the research model, each independent factor related to tourists affects the quality of life of residents, and the mediation variable (QoL) ultimately agrees with overtourism. This study uses Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), which is less influenced by the sample size. The research is based on 360 questionnaires. The test results showed that cultural factors affected the QoL statistically at 1% significance level, and economic factors were significant at 5%. The quality of life variable affects the agreement of overtourism (p-value 1% significance level). An indirect effect analysis on whether each independent factor affects the overtourism factor through the parameter of the QoL of the residents showed that the cultural factor at 5% level statistically affected it, and economic factors were significant at 10%. In conclusion, we recommend implementing both economic and cultural factors to reduce the negative perception of overtourism for the policy planning. Further research in multiple aspects should be continued to overcome the vulnerability of the Island destination tourism.
