This study examines the implementation and policy limitations of workplace sexual harassment prevention education in small-scale tourism businesses with fewer than 10 employees in Jeju and proposes locally tailored measures to improve its effectiveness. It reviews previous studies, the current status of workplace sexual harassment, relevant laws and ordinances, and related initiatives outside Jeju. Focus group interviews (FGIs) were also conducted with 30 participants in five groups, including business owners, employees, instructors, interpreters, tour guides, and field experts, from April 14 to 30, 2026.

Based on the findings, the study proposes nine measures: ① revising ordinances to strengthen support for prevention education in small workplaces; ② establishing a Jeju-based sexual harassment and sexual violence prevention and response support team; ③ developing industry-specific, case-based training content; ④ providing accessible materials for employees with disabilities; ⑤ providing multilingual materials and interpretation support for employees with migrant backgrounds; ⑥ integrating prevention education into existing tourism and job training programs; ⑦ providing priority training for business owners and managers; ⑧ introducing a Gender-Equal Tourism Workplace Certification Program; and ⑨ producing and distributing prevention etiquette videos for residents and tourists.
