The significance of volunteer travel
The significance of volunteer travel makes your travel meaningful, which is actually a very wonderful thing. It is also very close to our idea of ??carrying an extra kilogram. Domestically, although we all feel that the travel industry (I refer to the large tourism industry including self-guided tours and group tours) is already very mature in China. Speaking of technical content, we have a team of top talents with rich experience in no man's land and snowy mountains. In my opinion, in one sentence, spiritual civilization cannot keep up with material civilization. Chinese travelers are still at the beginning of understanding the meaning of travel. We travel for things, others travel for people. In-depth understanding of different cultures and ideas from around the world, including traditional cultural ideas and trendy ways of thinking, is the true meaning of travel. There are four reasons why foreigners like volunteer travel: First, they give their love. Second, gain a deep understanding of the local culture. Third, make friends with local people from different countries and cultures, and understand different cultures and concepts. Fourth, release yourself and live some ordinary life in a beautiful environment.
The development of foreign volunteer travel Volunteer travel has been developing abroad for a long time and has become very mature. Volunteer travel can be divided into two types according to the objects it helps. The first type of target: people, helping some people in need, vulnerable groups in the country, and poor children in developing countries. For example, we go to African countries to help poor children study, go to tsunami-stricken areas in South Asia to help with reconstruction, and provide spiritual help to orphans, disabled people, and the unemployed, etc. The second type of object: non-human beings, conservation of nature and protection of history. For example, go to some large forest parks to pick up garbage, go to historical buildings for maintenance, and pass on intangible traditional culture, etc. In developed countries, social enterprises are developing very well, and they have very complete systems to support society. In some places where government resources are lacking, social enterprises have done an excellent job of supplementing them. For example, in some developed countries with large land but few people, nature conservation work requires the participation of volunteer workers, especially foreign volunteers. At the same time, the beautiful natural environment is also a selling point to attract foreigners. While social enterprises support their own countries, they also spare no efforts in developing countries. They use their rich resources and networks to promote and help travelers from developed countries to carry out volunteer activities in developing countries. Secondly, national support is also an important driving force. In some developing countries, due to limited government resources, efforts to attract foreign tourists to help poor communities is one of the ways for countries to reduce pressure. Because of these factors, volunteer travel is developing rapidly and well in both developed and developing countries. On the one hand, travelers want to go to a place with beautiful scenery and rich cultural atmosphere to show their love. On the other hand, due to the shortage of human resources, society is in need of a large number of voluntary labor. Coupled with the social enterprises leading the way, the relationship between supply and demand is perfectly connected. But only in our country, we are still blank in this regard. Although some foreign and social enterprises from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan conduct some short-term volunteer travel activities in China, their scale is very small, and almost no domestic travelers participate. This is very worthy of our thinking.
