Winter sports tourism is a significant economic driver. Following the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics, Korea developed world-class ski resorts (e.g., Yongpyong, Alpensia, High1) attracting domestic and international visitors. Ice skating rinks (e.g., Seoul Plaza’s seasonal rink) and indoor snow parks operate. Conversely, winter also strains the construction and outdoor service industries, while energy demand for heating spikes. The government implements “winter energy conservation” programs and subsidies for vulnerable populations (e.g., energy vouchers ).
