While the Korea north of the 38th parallel tends to make the headlines, the area below got a mention last week when it became the first natural site in South Korea to be added to the World Heritage List. After meeting in New Zealand, the UNESCO Committee placed Jeju Island on the list.
Best known to Koreans as a honeymoon paradise (no self-respecting Korean man would dare suggest any other destination) and home to the erotic Love Land, Jeju Island also has a volcano and lava tube caves. Spectacularly beautiful AND sexy, who wouldn't want to holiday here? Tourism officials are hoping the World Heritage listing will boost tourist numbers in winter and summer, the seasons when Koreans rarely marry.
