SI Slogan

Consumer-Centered Management (CCM)

Consumer-Centered Management (CCM) is a certification system managed by the Korea Fair Trade Commission and the Korea Consumer Agency. Hanatour was the first travel agency to obtain the CCM mark in 2012, and as of 2024, we have successfully renewed the certificate seven times in a row.

Consumer-Centered Management (CCM) is a national statutory certification system under the Framework Act on Consumers (Article 20, Paragraphs 2-4), which is used for evaluating and certifying whether all activities of a company are structured from the customers’ point of view and whether related management activities are being improved continuously. Hanatour received the Grand Prize (Prime Minister’s Citation) for Outstanding Achievement in 2022 in recognition of significant enhancement in consumer benefits and satisfaction with exceptional CCM activities, as well as its contributions to the development of the CCM system itself.
