The Gyeonggi Tourism Organization is stepping up efforts to promote sustainable camping culture and spread ESG practices at Pyeonghwa Nuri Campground, which it operates directly near Imjingak Pyeonghwa Nuri Park in Paju.
The organization signed an agreement with Leave No Trace Korea on Thursday at the campground.
Under the agreement, the two sides will work to build an environment where campers can easily practice eco-friendly habits, moving beyond simple awareness campaigns to establish a sustainable ESG framework built around the cycle of education, practice and outreach.
Leave No Trace is an international nonprofit founded to teach and promote principles for enjoying outdoor activities while minimizing impact on the natural environment.
Pyeonghwa Nuri Campground will particularly focus on helping campers understand how their activities affect nature, encouraging hands-on eco-friendly behavior — including reducing and properly disposing of waste, minimizing damage to natural surroundings and being considerate of fellow campers.
The campground plans to run an overnight education program, continuously tracking participant satisfaction and shifts in awareness, and incorporating feedback to gradually improve and expand its education and campaign initiatives.
