[Asia Economy Reporter Yongjun Cho, Travel Specialist] ◇Hanwha Hotels & Resorts Jade Garden Arboretum (photo) has prepared various promotions to celebrate its 10th anniversary and Family Month. All visitors until the 31st can enjoy free admission to a special photo exhibition, and customers visiting every Saturday between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. can participate in a digital calligraphy event. If you send photos taken at Jade Garden via email, calligraphy artists will write your desired phrases for free. Events with quizzes using QR codes are also prepared at the Flower Wave Garden, full of splendid roses, magnolias, and tulips, as well as at the Italian Wedding Garden and Manbyeongcho Garden.

◇Gonjiam Resort is holding a 'Kids Healing Program' until the 31st in celebration of Family Month. This one-day experience class for children offers diverse programs such as magic, music, and reading, taught by professional instructors in each field. It is held every Friday and Saturday and is conducted safely through advance reservations for families. Additionally, guests staying at Gonjiam Resort during this period will receive a Gonjiam mini diffuser as a welcome gift through a lottery.

Moreover, various attractions that families can enjoy together have newly opened, including Korea's first 360-degree rotating track 'Gonjiam Luge 360,' the small zoo at the ski resort summit called 'Sky Rest Area,' and the 'Kids Playground' made of eco-friendly Nordic-style wood, adding more fun.

◇Hanjin Express has launched the 'Hanjin Easy Travel Service,' allowing travelers to travel conveniently without luggage. This service lets customers pick up rental products needed at the travel destination from the hotel and return them there. Rental items include two sets of clothing (either two tops and bottoms or two dresses), a Dyson Airwrap, a parasol, a selfie stick tripod, and a skincare kit. Clothing can be selected directly from Closet Share, a clothing rental company, according to the travel concept. Also, for traveling with pets, essential items such as waste bag cases, food bowls, and waste pads are provided, along with a door-to-door golf bag delivery service.

◇Seoul Metropolitan Government and Seoul Tourism Foundation have selected 'Three Seoul Walking Tour Courses Perfect for Walking Together' to help soothe tired bodies and minds by briefly escaping daily life. In May, hoping that people can safely and warmly enjoy spring outings with loved ones, the courses are 'Changdeokgung Course (2 hours),' 'Sejong-daero Hangeul Gaon-gil Course (about 2 hours),' and 'Old Alley Walk in Seochon (about 2 hours).' As the saying goes, 'The more you know, the more you see,' walking while listening to stories from cultural tourism guides who know Seoul inside out will help discover hidden charms of familiar places you might have overlooked. You can participate for free by making a reservation on the official Seoul tourism information website (https://korean.visitseoul.net/walking-tour).
