"Eat and Sleep Alone"... Rising Popularity of Convenient Ingredients for 'Honcamping' Enthusiasts '↑'
[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Saeng-hye] Recently, due to the impact of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), summer vacations are shifting to a ‘contactless’ style. In particular, camping has emerged as the trend for this summer vacation because it allows people to naturally practice social distancing by escaping from urban areas with frequent face-to-face contact. Among young people, ‘hon-camping’ (camping alone) is especially rising as a trend. According to the food and beverage industry on the 25th, various products that provide ‘honhwakhaeng’ (certain happiness alone) for hon-camping are attracting consumers’ attention.
