Both the UK Government and the Pyeongchang Organising Committee for the Olympic Games in South Korea have contingency plans for the 2018 Olympic and Paralympic Games, as we do for all major sporting events. As we prepare for the Games, we are in close touch with the British Olympic and Paralympic Associations. The Government keeps all travel advice under constant review, including for the Republic of Korea.
