This campaign is a marine cleanup initiative jointly promoted by the two organizations since 2022. Nearly 1,600 participants have joined over the past two years. Participants can select coastal areas along the Jeju Olle course to collect trash and receive a certificate of participation. They can also register their activities on the 1365 Volunteer Portal.

Now in its third year, this campaign features noticeable changes such as eco-friendly vests made from recycled discarded PET bottles worn during participation, and the bold removal of banners to promote environmental responsibility. Certificates of participation are issued online by default to minimize resource waste.

Kim Man-jin, head of the Jeju branch of the Korea Tourism Organization, said, "The Badanggil Keep It Clean campaign is part of our efforts to create a low-carbon, eco-friendly travel environment," adding, "We plan to continue collaborating with various private organizations for sustainable tourism in Jeju."

This year’s campaign runs from the 16th through November 30th. Individuals wishing to participate can apply via the Olle Pass app, and companies or groups of 10 or more can inquire at the Jeju Olle Secretariat.
