Hana Tour Launches Travel Packages for Fully Vaccinated Customers

[Asia Economy Reporter Donghyun Choi] Hana Tour has launched travel products for those who have completed COVID-19 vaccination. A fully vaccinated person refers to someone who has completed the recommended number of vaccine doses domestically and has passed the two-week antibody formation period. They are exempt from mandatory self-quarantine upon entering the country.

On the 6th, Hana Tour announced that it will introduce a special exhibition called "Travel Abroad Now," recommending travel products to destinations such as Hawaii, Switzerland, Maldives, and Dubai, where no domestic or overseas self-quarantine is required for fully vaccinated travelers.

In Hawaii, depending on the product, 1-2 days of sightseeing plus individual free schedules are possible. Maldives, which has high demand for honeymoons, offers all-inclusive products including full resort meals such as the "Maldives 7 Days - Sheraton Full Moon Resort." Switzerland offers options based on travel purposes, such as full-day sightseeing or tour hotels.

Hana Tour applied its "Safety Travel Program (SAFETY&JOY)," prepared last year to establish new standards for travel in the post-COVID-19 era, to the products in this special exhibition.

Through Hana Tour’s global network, hotels, restaurants, and tourist attractions that comply with high-level quarantine guidelines were carefully selected. Restaurants provide exclusive tables for groups, and dedicated buses are regularly disinfected and ventilated, with seating limited to less than 50%. The sightseeing schedule avoids crowded indoor tourist spots, and a guide who has completed safety training accompanies travelers to check symptoms and provide guidance on safety rules and compliance at travel destinations.

Even during free schedules, guides provide non-face-to-face services via SNS channels such as KakaoTalk, and in case of emergencies during overseas travel, a 24-hour overseas emergency medical support service (ASSIST CARD) is also provided.

Travelers can prepare for their trips using a safe travel checklist consisting of 32 items, including "pre-departure self-diagnosis" and "basic safety travel checks."

A Hana Tour official stated, "We will expand travel products that comply with local quarantine guidelines, focusing on regions exempt from self-quarantine obligations, and make every effort to ensure safety measures."

If travel is impossible due to COVID-19, cancellation penalties will not be charged, and departure dates and destinations can be changed. Detailed information is available on Hana Tour’s website.
