Aju Tours has launched its first sunrise tour of the new year and is looking to attract customers.

The company announced the return of its three-day, two-night tour of the Grand Canyon sunrise and Las Vegas, resuming three years after the tour’s suspension due to the pandemic.

The itinerary begins on December 31, with departure from Aju Tours’ headquarters in Koreatown, Los Angeles. The journey includes a lunch stop in Barstow and a trip across the Mojave Desert. The day concludes in the railroad town of Kingman, Arizona, before the group settles for the night in Williams, Arizona.

On January 1, the second day, tourists will experience the first sunrise of the new year at Mather Point in Grand Canyon National Park. Following the park tour, the itinerary includes visits to Hoover Dam and Las Vegas. The final day, January 2, sees the group returning to Los Angeles, with a stop in Barstow once again.

Helen Park, director of Aju Tours, stated, “Aju Tours is celebrating its 40th anniversary next year. The new year is the year of the dragon, and we have organized this tour package to help Koreans put their regrets behind and welcome a hopeful new year. We hope that you can make a great start to the new year by wishing for hope, health, and happiness while looking at the red sun rising strongly in the wondrous nature.”

Seats are limited, available on a first-come, first-served basis, and priced at $529 per person. Aju Tours is offering a special discount for customers born in the year of the dragon.
