Abstract
Programs developed with the aim of preserving the environment are necessary throughout the world, but the specific measures that need to be promoted will certainly differ greatly according to each country or region. Although such efforts may be commonplace for those living in a particular country or region, tourists who are visiting may not be aware of the rules. Clearly informing tourists about the environmental conservation strategies of the area they are visiting is possible and will lessen any frustrations and misunderstandings that may occur if people are not aware. Information regarding environmental rules and regulations in that particular area must be provided to all tourists using clear and easy-to-understand signage that can be understood by speakers of all different languages so that everyone can participate.
By analyzing cases of environmental protection programs in South Korea, this paper investigates how problems relating to misunderstandings among foreign tourists can be resolved.
