济州岛计划发行NFT旅游卡以吸引年轻一代

据报道，韩国济州岛计划发行不可替代代币（NFT）旅游卡，以增加该国年轻一代的旅游量。

South Korea’s Jeju Island is planning to issue non-fungible token (NFT)-based tourist cards in a bid to boost visitation by the country’s younger generations, according to a Jan. 5 report by local news outlet the Maeil Business Newspaper.

据当地新闻媒体《每日经济新闻》 1 月 5 日报道，韩国济州岛正计划发行基于不可替代代币 (NFT) 的旅游卡，以增加该国年轻一代的旅游量。

The digital tourism cards will be issued in the second half of 2025 and will come with a range of perks, including travel subsidies and discounts at tourist spots around the island. The cards will be linked to an NFT, which will also offer additional benefits.

数字旅游卡将于 2025 年下半年发行，并将提供一系列福利，包括旅游补贴和岛上旅游景点的折扣。这些卡将与 NFT 关联，这也将提供额外的好处。

Jeju hopes the digital and NFT-based travel cards will pique the interest of millennials and Generation Z — those born between the late 1980s and early 2010s — and increase the rate of returning younger tourists.

济州岛希望数字和基于 NFT 的旅行卡能够激起千禧一代和 Z 世代（1980 年代末至 2010 年代初出生的人）的兴趣，并提高年轻游客的回访率。

Jeju is South Korea’s largest island and a tourist hotspot known for hiking trails and resorts. It’s the country’s first self-governing province with its own local government that has a history with crypto initiatives, having launched a blockchain-based COVID-19 contact tracing app in 2021.

济州岛是韩国最大的岛屿，也是以远足小径和度假村而闻名的旅游热点。这是该国第一个拥有地方政府的自治省份，有着加密货币举措的历史，并于 2021 年推出了基于区块链的 COVID-19 接触者追踪应用程序。

The NFT-linked tourist cards, which will first undergo a trial before a slated full rollout in the second half of 2025, will offer travel subsidies and discounts on tourist spots around the island.

与 NFT 挂钩的旅游卡将首先进行试点，并计划于 2025 年下半年全面推出，该卡将提供旅游补贴和岛上旅游景点的折扣。
