HYATT REGENCY SERAGAKI ISLAND OKINAWA OFFERS ECOTOURISM ACTIVITY

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 13 (Bernama) -- Hyatt Regency Seragaki Island Okinawa, located on Seragaki Island in Onna Village on the west coast of Okinawa, is offering an ecotourism activity, “Learn About the Sea of Seragaki Island and Clownfish” to support the conservation and restoration of clownfish around the island.

Reservation for the activity is now available via "FIND”, an experiences platform launched in November last year through Hyatt's industry-leading World of Hyatt loyalty programme designed to complement members' wellbeing journeys and meet them where they are.

As part of the "Seragaki Island Clownfish Restoration Project" which began in June 2021, the activity offers guests a snorkeling or diving experience around the clownfish-nurturing project zone along with a lecture on SDG 14 titled "Life Below Water: conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development”.

“Through this programme, the hotel aims to help participants deepen their understanding of environmental conservation and establish a sustainable tourism system by giving part of the programme proceeds back to the future of nurturing the clownfish,” it said in a statement.

The 75-minute "Learn About the Sea of Seragaki Island and Clownfish" activity starts with a lecture on the background of clownfish conservation and breeding, and their natural habitats.

After deepening understanding of environmental issues surrounding marine life, participants will explore firsthand the clownfish nursery area around Seragaki Island by snorkeling or diving.

The Seragaki Island Clownfish Restoration Project, driven by Hyatt Regency Seragaki Island Okinawa is a collaboration with the Marine Climate Change Unit at Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University.
