[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heeyoon] Hana Tour (CEO Song Miseon, Yuk Kyunggeon) announced on the 18th that it will operate products and conduct employee volunteer activities to practice sustainable travel as part of its ESG management activities.

First, they introduced the product "Protecting the Great Nature of Mongolia," one of the ESG campaigns. On the 29th of last month, the hiking evangelist (a messenger who possesses knowledge and passion in a field and widely spreads its value) Kim Seomju led a trekking trip in Mongolia.

This product includes trekking and meditation to enjoy the great nature at Mongolia's Chachagunsan, Eonggeotsan, and Yeoltesan mountains, as well as experiencing a stay in a traditional Mongolian ger, along with a plogging schedule.

Plogging was conducted at Terelj National Park, a representative tourist destination in Mongolia. Approximately 10kg of trash was collected during the trekking and processed for recycling. Encouraged by the positive response from customers who used this product, a second event is being prepared for September.

Additionally, employee volunteer activities, which were temporarily suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic, have resumed. On the 3rd, 24 Hana Tour employees visited Phu Quoc, Vietnam, a Southeast Asian resort destination gaining popularity. To protect the environment of Phu Quoc as it enters the peak season, they conducted street cleaning volunteer activities by collecting about 5kg of trash on crowded beaches.

A Hana Tour official stated, "By practicing ESG management activities, we plan to expand sustainable travel to provide meaningful experiences to customers and actively participate in public interest activities for community development and environmental protection."
