  Bet365 app download "Dialogue" report on the Internet recently report,"Voluntourism" combined with overseas volunteer services and travel experience is quietly recovering。

Before the epidemic,The global volunteer tourism industry creates about $ 2 billion in economic income per year,Its active volunteers are as many as 10 million people。But,Volunteer tourism has also suffered many social criticisms,For example, commodity volunteer work、Continuing new colonialism、Continue the "White Savior" complex, etc.。Humans Bet365 app download of Messi University of New Zealand、Professor of the School of Environment and Planning, Sharon McLennan, take Fiji as an example,Discussion of the relationship between volunteers and hosts in the commercialization trend of volunteer tourism。Mcronan thinks,Volunteer tourism is influenced by colonial history and contemporary global process and interacts with it,A complicated prosperity relationship network。Scholars need to avoid definition of voluntary tourism from a narrow perspective of "local business development"。

Fiji is the largest tourist destination in the Pacific region,Tourism accounts for 23%of the country's GDP。McLarenan talks,For the past 10 years,Volunteer travel rises Bet365 lotto review in Fiji,Now it has entered a high -speed development stage。McLarenan conducted research on an international volunteer tourism institution in Fiji,It is found that Fijian is willing to establish a short cultural exchange relationship with foreign volunteers。The host family of the host actively interacts with foreign volunteers,For example,Volunteer in your own home,Invite volunteers to participate in the production of three meals a day and attending festival activities。There are also some Fiji families after volunteers leave for a long time,Still contact them。

But,Mcronan thinks,The cultural exchange relationship between the Lord and volunteers of Fiji is the product of the Fiji tourist consumer landscape。Like ordinary Bet365 lotto review tourists,Volunteer paid a high fee to the tourism institution,And with the expectations of the volunteer travel experience, come to Fiji。These travel expectations may be very common,For example, a stable Internet service、delicious food and logistics support; maybe deep,If it produces a sense of accomplishment to contribute to developing countries。but but,Once these expectations are not satisfied,Volunteers as consumers will keep complaining,Breeding a negative impression of Fiji,Destroy the relationship with the Lord of Fiji,Certificate of cracking down on the latter's cultural self -confidence。This can be seen,The business cultural experience cannot establish a long and stable bet365 best casino games cross -cultural contact,At the same time, the possibility of the natural contact between foreigners and Fijians。

From the perspective of McLaren South,Social needs to surpass local development practice or commercialized cultural experience to study volunteer travel。Social needs to carry forward the advantages of voluntary tourism,Establish a short -term cross -cultural relationship,Promoting mutual learning and personal reflection,Make a long -term contribution to society and environmental undertakings。
