A little olive oil, white balsamic, and pepper. #apricotsalad Regarding Jeju's second airport, statistics from the Jeju Tourism Association show that annual visitors to Jeju, which stood at 2 million in 1988, surpassed 5 million in 2005, topped 10 million in 2013, and broke 15 million in 2016. That's excessive when you consider that Hawaii—more than 15 times the size of Jeju—draws only around 9 million visitors a year (as of 2016).
