As many as 8,400 Korean travellers will be visiting Alberta this summer as part of a new charter program negotiated by Travel Alberta and the Calgary Airport Authority.   Korean Air will fly Boeing 777-200 aircraft three times a week, July 1 until September 2, between Seoul and Calgary.  Each flight will carry up to 301 passengers.   “Alberta shares its world-class attractions and western hospitality with well over a million international visitors each year,” said Hector Goudreau, Minister of Tourism, Parks, Recreation and Culture.  “We look forward to providing our Korean guests with a truly memorable experience in our province.”   Itineraries are still under development but all tours will include the Columbia Icefield Glacier Experience in Jasper National Park as the anchor attraction.  Destinations included on the six to nine-day charter schedules include Calgary, Edmonton, Banff, Canmore, Lake Louise, Jasper, Drumheller, Red Deer, Fort Macleod and Waterton.   “We are very confident that the diversity of Alberta’s tourism attractions will be popular with Koreans this summer,” said Bo Young (Arnold) Song, general manager of Korean Air’s Americas Network Team in Seoul.   The charter program will be sold by Korean tour operators Hana Tours, Mode Tours, Freedom Tours and Lotte Tours.    “We are thrilled that after two years of persistent relationship-building in Korea and with the facilitation of the Calgary Airport Authority, that we have been able to generate such a significant charter program,” said Derek Coke-Kerr, managing director of Travel Alberta.  “We are especially pleased that we will showcase so much of rural Alberta for our guests this summer,” he added.   In 2005, more than 37,000 Koreans spent more than $32 million visiting Alberta.   Strengthening our tourism industry supports Premier Ed Stelmach's plan to build a stronger Alberta. Other priorities for the government are to: govern with transparency and integrity, manage growth pressures, improve Albertans' quality of life and provide safe and secure communities.   - 30 -   Media enquiries may be directed to: Derek Coke-Kerr Managing Director Travel Alberta Phone: 403-297-2700 Arnold Song General Manager Korean Air Phone: 82-2-2656-7302   Erin Larson Communications Alberta Tourism, Parks, Recreation and Culture Phone: 780-427-6530 To call toll-free within Alberta dial 310-0000.

In receiving this Go Green® Certification, the operations team of the Calgary Airport Authority, displayed its leadership in the realm of the indoor environment. This is a significant achievement for a facility which processes millions of passengers annually at one of the country’s major airports. In being awarded this national recognition, the airport authority’s operations staff was required to demonstrate its performance against a national industry environmental standard to an independent verifier. To be certified Go Green® a building must demonstrate that it meets or exceeds all of the best practices standards in all of the key areas. Among the key criteria considered are: ♦ Resource Consumption, including electricity, gas, and water ♦ Waste reduction and recycling, in particular construction waste reduction ♦ Building materials, specifically hazardous materials, materials selection, and ozone depleting substances ♦ Indoor Environment, indoor air quality (IAQ) and HVAC maintenance ♦ Tenant communication program   BOMA Go Green® is a national program developed by BOMA Canada. Go Green® is a voluntary program designed for existing or occupied buildings. The purpose of Go Green® is to demonstrate to all building owners how to build an environmental management system, and to recognize those owners who have successfully implemented these programs in the operation of their properties. -30- More information: Bill Partridge BOMA Calgary 403.660-7337 Bill.partridge@boma.ca www.boma.ca www.bomagogreen.com Bryce Paton Calgary Airport Authority 403.735-5899 brycep@yyc.com  SuperUser Account Thu, 08 Mar 2007 21:49:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:104
