Local Information

Hotel and Venue: 

 Ocean Suites Jeju Hotel is the designated accommodation for the conference (학회지정숙소: 오션스위츠 제주 호텔). All lectures will take place in the CANOLA Hall (캐놀라홀) on the 2nd floor.

Transportation:

We recommend taking a taxi from Jeju Airport to Ocean Suites Jeju Hotel (오션스위츠 제주 호텔). The journey will take approximately 15 minutes, with an estimated cost of around 6,000 KRW (approximately 5 USD). You may pay the taxi fee with a credit card. Here is a PDF file in Korean, saying "Take me to Ocean Suites Jeju hotel," including the address.


Local Map:

Google Maps does not function optimally in Korea due to government restrictions on exporting detailed mapping data to foreign servers, stemming from the overt threat of North Korea. We recommend using either Naver Maps or Kakao Maps in Korea, as both support the English language.


Hotel Check-in:

If you have requested us to reserve a hotel for you, please provide your name at the reception desk, and the hotel will assist you with the check-in process. You may check in after 3 pm and check out before noon.


Meals:

For participants receiving accommodation support from us, breakfast is included. If you are covering your hotel expenses, you can add breakfast at a discounted price during check-in. Lunch will be provided to all participants on 23-24 and 26 January at the restaurant Blue Ocean on the 2nd floor in the hotel. No dinner will be provided, except for the banquet.
