On 15th October 2021, STO (Seoul Tourism Organization) invited twelve people: foreigners living in Korea and some tour officials, including guides and facilitators, to join Phoenix Voyages for a “Fam Trip” to visit the sites of the new destinations in Seoul, created by Phoenix Voyages that won them the “Sustainable Seoul Tourism Program contest” organized by STO.
Este programa de 3 días y 2 noches en Seúl, cuidadosamente diseñado, se basa en la comunidad, la naturaleza y la historia, con la idea de combinar algunas visitas a zonas turísticas descuidadas, cooperando con las personas socialmente desfavorecidas y realizando un recorrido respetuoso con el medio ambiente.
Durante el Fam Trip, que se realizó en un día, Phoenix Voyages pudo mostrar algunos lugares cuidadosamente seleccionados:
✓ Gyeongchun Supgil: An old disused district railway that has been completely redeveloped into a walking area.
✓ Gongneung-dong Goblin Market: This was originally a traditional goblin market where people gathered on the railroad to sell their products. It is fast becoming a landmark in the eastern region.
✓ National Museum of Korea: A South Korean treasure located in Seobinggo-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul.
✓ “I got everything”: A cafe opened by the Korea Development Institute for the Disabled in public institutions and private companies in the country to create jobs for people with disabilities.
✓ Jamsu Bridge: A bridge designed to be submerged in water during the rainy season.
✓ Sevit Seom Island: A cultural space created as a unique landmark for culture on the Han River in central Seoul.
Antes de la visita, Phoenix Voyages preparó varios regalos y sorpresas relacionados con el turismo sostenible para los visitantes. Los regalos preparados no eran sólo recuerdos del Museo Nacional de Corea, sino también un kit sanitario de viaje, que incluía desinfectante, una mascarilla de algodón con filtro intercambiable y un pañuelo de algodón reutilizable, para combatir la epidemia de Covid-19.
Por último, aunque todos los lugares turísticos visitados eran nuevos o poco conocidos, se impartió formación y se explicó bien el propósito del concepto de turismo sostenible.
