Hagi Geopark has systematically conducted lectures and geotours that emphasize experiences such as outdoor experiences and cooking classes. However, we were forced to stop these activities due to the influence of COVID-19. Therefore, after April 2020, we started to develop a new method for the purpose of continuing educational activities and tourism activities in the with COVID-19 era. As a result, we have begun full-scale operation of programs that utilize the Internet, such as holding regular online tours once a month. I will share the process of these efforts and the challenges for the post COVID-19 era.
