The Korea Tourism Organization announced on September 10, 2026, that it had signed a 'Business Agreement for Establishing an Advanced Audit System for Tourism, Environment, and Safety, and Enhancing Public Institution Audit Capabilities and Internal Controls' with the Korea National Park Service and the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency at the headquarters of the Korea National Park Service.

Under this agreement, the three organizations' internal audit bodies will establish a collaborative framework covering all aspects of audit work and share auditing techniques and internal control systems. They also plan to implement initiatives such as cross-auditing, mutual support with professional personnel, exchange of safety audit methodologies, and joint training for audit staff.

An audit model combining each organization's areas of expertise will also be developed. By integrating the Korea Tourism Organization's expertise in domestic and international tourism support, the Korea National Park Service's experience in environmental conservation and visitor safety, and the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency's know-how in industrial safety and health audits, the aim is to achieve 'Zero Serious Accidents' and establish an advanced audit system.

Kim Byung-chan, Standing Auditor of the Korea Tourism Organization, stated, “We expect that by combining our nationwide network and expertise, we will be able to provide safe and high-quality services that both the public and foreign visitors can truly experience. We will do our utmost to create a reassuring and trustworthy tourism environment for everyone.”
