Kia Chorok Yeohaeng Supports 'Mudflat Ecology Travel' for Families with Disabilities

[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Hyun-seok] Kia Green Travel announced on the 2nd that it will begin recruiting disabled families to embark on a trip in August with the theme of "Mudflat Ecological Travel."

Mudflats are a representative "blue carbon" source and one of the carbon sinks present in the sea. A recent study revealed that South Korea's mudflats absorb 260,000 tons of carbon dioxide annually, which is equivalent to the amount of carbon dioxide emitted by 110,000 cars in the country over one year.

This event was planned to allow participants to experience the ecology of mudflats, a major carbon sink, and to encourage mudflat cleanup activities for environmental protection. When applying for the event, applicants can write a story expressing their desire to participate in mudflat experiences such as clam digging and environmental cleanup activities.

Selected families will be provided with a Carnival vehicle equipped to carry electric wheelchairs and electric scooters, fuel support, a cultural and leisure activity allowance (300,000 KRW), and a driver if needed. The application period is from today until the 24th. Applications can be submitted on the Green Travel website.

The announcement of selected participants will be made on the 30th of this month via a notice on the website and individual contact, with a total of seven families being selected. Detailed information about the event can be found on the Green Travel website.
