Walkerhill Hotel & Resort announced that last year, 793 employees participated in the 'Haenggarae (Adding Happiness to Tomorrow)' campaign to foster a sustainable management culture within the company, generating ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) results worth approximately 120 million KRW. Specifically, they achieved 67,198 zero food waste instances, 168 blood donation certifications, 9,813 tumbler uses, and 1,587 social contribution activities. The Haenggarae campaign is a sustainable management culture initiative conducted through Walkerhill employees’ groupware application. Employees practice eco-friendly activities during work hours, record them via the app, and earn Social Value (SV) points. SV points can be used like cash at in-house cafes and donation programs within Walkerhill Hotel, or exchanged for Walkerhill gift certificates. Since the system’s introduction in May 2021, the cumulative SV points earned by employees through the Haenggarae campaign have reached about 400 million KRW.

Lotte Tour Development announced the launch of a special charter flight package to Greece, departing only five times from April, the optimal travel season for Southern Europe. This product was also offered twice last year in February and June. Highlighting the advantage of a 12-hour direct charter flight by Korean Air to Athens, which has no regular flights, all 760 seats (426 in February, 334 in June) were sold despite the price exceeding 7.59 million KRW per person. This year, departures are scheduled for five times: three in April (12th, 19th, 26th) and two in May (3rd, 10th), with a 7-night, 9-day itinerary. Prices start at 7.79 million KRW per person (including various taxes).
