This document proposes a plan to introduce voluntourism in Australia by targeting young backpackers from South Korea and the UK. It involves segmenting the Australian tourism market and identifying the target market. The plan focuses on using social media and promotions on travel websites to position voluntourism opportunities involving local communities. The goal is to create a successful voluntourism program that benefits both volunteers and host communities.
- Foreign aid accounts for a large portion of GDP for some poor recipient countries, but global aid flows have remained relatively constant and aid to the poorest countries is a small percentage of total aid.
- The evidence on the impact of aggregate foreign aid is mixed and inconclusive due to measurement challenges and because aid is often determined by donor interests rather than recipient needs.
- Recent studies using narrower definitions of aid and more disaggregated outcomes, along with natural and randomized experiments, aim to provide clearer evidence on how specific types of aid impact development.
Lee's model of migration proposes that people move due to push and pull factors. Push factors induce people to leave their origin location due to negatives like poverty or instability, while pull factors attract people to destinations that have positives like job opportunities or thriving economies. People evaluate the push and pull factors of different locations along with any intervening obstacles like distance or borders to determine if the factors are strong enough to force or entice migration, or if closer intermediate locations are preferable.
11.forecasting as a pinnacle for rural revitalizationAlexander Decker
This document summarizes a study that used regression analysis to forecast tourist arrivals at Mesowalai Homestay in Sabah State, Malaysia. The study analyzed data on tourist arrivals from 2000 to 2010, using years 2000 to 2006 to build a regression model and years 2006 to 2010 to validate the forecasts. The regression model predicted that tourist arrivals would increase by 233.2 annually, with peak annual arrivals reaching 1123.55 tourists. This forecast can help the homestay community estimate future revenue and plan accordingly for sustainable tourism development and rural revitalization.
This document discusses two-way causality between social capital and poverty in rural Indonesia. It analyzes data from two nationally representative datasets to show that social capital, defined as participation in social activities, positively affects household expenditure, a proxy for poverty. It also finds that factors like education, number of social organizations in a village, permanent market infrastructure, and home ownership determine social capital levels. The study aims to better understand this relationship to inform policies that can help reduce rural poverty through facilitating access to social capital for poor households.
Volunteering has a long history but is now changing the landscape of international development in several ways. With an estimated 10 million travelers volunteering abroad each year, voluntourism has become a major industry. However, there is no standard for measuring its impact on communities or volunteers. While voluntourism provides benefits, it is important to understand how it may be shifting paradigms and relationships in development and address issues like sustainability and collaboration between organizations. The growth of voluntourism is occurring alongside debates around the effectiveness of international aid and new approaches like Do-It-Yourself foreign aid.
The document discusses economic empowerment of women through inclusive finance and its role in ensuring food security and sustainable development. It notes that while microfinance has expanded access to credit for many women, interventions often focus only on microcredit and do not address gender issues. As a result, the potential for women's empowerment and development are not fully realized. The document recommends more comprehensive programs that promote gender equality in design and implementation to better attain objectives of empowering women, alleviating poverty, and fostering sustainable development.

1. The document proposes a new magazine that would consolidate humanitarian efforts to increase their effectiveness. It would combine the engaging storytelling of National Geographic with the focus on humanitarian issues from magazines like Humanitarian Exchange.
2. Currently, magazines focus on either entertainment or humanitarian issues, but do not provide ways for readers to directly contribute or participate in relief efforts.
3. A new magazine could unite these efforts, inspire readers through compelling stories, and create avenues for readers to donate time, money and resources to support consolidated humanitarian organizations and causes. This would maximize relief efforts and global impact.
Research_Proposal_The impacts of international aid in addressing poverty in E...Phillip Eggers
This document provides an introduction and literature review for a research paper on the impacts of international aid in addressing poverty in East Africa. It discusses how aid has mixed results and can sometimes be counterproductive due to issues like lack of accountability, transparency, and proper implementation. The research aims to examine these impacts in East Africa and understand why unintended consequences sometimes occur. It will also look at differences between aid organizations' logistical approaches.
This report is focused on world-wide case studies of positive examples of women empowerment through tourism. The research has been undertaken for purpose of contributing to the new action plan recently launched by United Nations World Travel Organization (UNWTO) in this area, which has been in consonance with UN Millennium Development Goal (MDG) agenda number three on gender and women empowerment.
This report is part of the Master course of Leisure, Tourism and Environment, designed and supervised by Dr. Irena Ateljevic, an expert in this area, at Wageningen University and Research Centre (WUR), the Netherlands. In the beginning of this report, studies on researches done regarding women issues in relations to tourism from various points of views were discussed. Researchers revealed that women have been empowered through tourism directly and indirectly through some case studies done. Empowerment is defined as a critical aspect of gender equality implies a society in which women and men enjoy the same opportunities, outcomes, rights and obligations in all spheres of life.
A critical aspect of promoting gender equality is the empowerment of women, with a focus on identifying and redressing power imbalances and giving women more autonomy to manage their own lives. Women’s empowerment is vital to sustainable development and the realization of human right for all. Tourism is a tool to empower women from various aspects. Tourism could assist women to increase power and control over natural resources; economic empowerment; educational empowerment and political empowerment. These desk researches of information were collected by students from five different nationalities with regards to women empowerment through tourism in five regions: Africa, Asia, East Europe, Latin America and Middle East within approximately eight weeks.

MBA Cultural Policy Comparison - USA, Japan and Canadaelpinchito
This document presents a comparison of cultural policy and funding in Canada, the US, and Japan. It discusses how each country approaches arts funding, whether through public or private means. Key differences are highlighted such as Canada prioritizing national pride and social cohesion, while the US emphasizes public goods and diplomacy. The document also examines cultural complexes in each country, like Harbourfront Centre in Canada, Lincoln Center in the US, and Roppongi Art District in Japan. It concludes by suggesting organizations like Harbourfront Centre could learn from US models to increase private funding while maintaining their missions.
Globalization has led to both benefits and harms according to the document. It discusses how the novel The White Tiger portrays the negative effects of globalization in India, including widening rural-urban gaps, corruption in various systems, unemployment, exploitation of the lower classes, and the impact of technology in creating a "dark" India. It notes how globalization has contributed to new social classes and a situation where people must "eat or be eaten". While material prosperity has increased for some, globalization has also deepened misery for many through issues like poverty, lack of opportunity, and erosion of cultural identity.
The document provides an overview of the DisArTY project, which aims to promote community-based tourism led by youth to support economic development in disaster-affected areas. The project will train youth workers in entrepreneurship and community-based tourism strategies through meetings in Italy, Mexico, and the Philippines. It will also develop an e-learning course and professional e-book on developing community-based tourism. The goal is to provide opportunities for young people through sustainable tourism initiatives that benefit local communities and economies.
This document discusses poverty, its effects, and actions taken to address it. It notes that almost half the world lives on less than $2.50 a day, and poverty contributes to widespread diseases, hunger, illiteracy and homelessness. To combat poverty, the UN established an International Day for its Eradication. Governments implement conditional cash transfer programs, while voluntary organizations work to end poverty and monitor progress on UN development goals.
Volunteer tourism involves travelers visiting destinations to take part in community projects, such as conservation work, development work, or medical assistance. It benefits both individuals and society. For individuals, volunteer tourism allows participants to complete their goal of travel while learning from local communities and feeling that they have made a positive difference. For society, volunteer tourism provides contributions in social, economic, and cultural areas. However, volunteer tourism also faces hurdles such as financial costs prohibiting some from participating. Several organizations place volunteers in projects around the world.
This document defines different types of events and their relationship to tourism. It identifies organized occasions such as meetings, conventions, exhibitions and special events as events. These events often include several related functions and involve unique management, programming, settings and people. The document also categorizes cultural events as activities that contribute to social and cultural life, sporting events as competitions for spectator entertainment, and business events as meetings, incentive travel, conferences and exhibitions.
This document provides an overview of event tourism guidance and the events industry. It begins with a brief history of events, noting some major sporting events in South Africa's history. It then discusses the benefits of hosting events, such as addressing historical imbalances and creating a positive image. Next, it defines event management and the events industry, describing event tourism as the systematic development, planning, marketing, and holding of events. It outlines objectives of event tourism, distinguishing between event tourists and visitors. Finally, it categorizes different types or genres of events and provides examples of events in each genre.
The document provides several definitions and principles of ecotourism from various sources:
1) One of the earliest definitions from 1983 emphasizes enjoying nature and culture in relatively undisturbed areas through low-impact travel that promotes conservation and benefits local communities.
2) Subsequent definitions focus on responsible travel to natural areas that conserves the environment and improves welfare of local people while building environmental awareness.
3) Key principles of ecotourism include minimizing environmental and cultural impacts, providing benefits to conservation and local communities, and respecting local people and cultures.
Ecotourism involves environmentally responsible travel to natural areas that promotes conservation and benefits local communities. It contains educational and interpretive features for small groups to minimize negative impacts. Achieving balance between conservation and development requires managing development density and local participation. The Jiuzhaigou Biosphere Reserve in China benefits from ecotourism by involving local communities and reducing farming/hunting to focus on the ecotourism business. Community-based ecotourism empowers local communities by involving them in conservation and giving them control over development. Ecotourism can fund environmental protection and education/development of local populations through tourism dollars.

While voluntary tourism provides benefits, it also faces some criticisms and is not without potential downsides.
Understanding Volunteerism for Development in South-Eastern Europe and the Co...Steve Powell
Volunteerism has contributed significantly to development in South-Eastern Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States. This report analyzes volunteerism in the region through frameworks of social capital and bonding versus bridging forms. It examines volunteerism from the socialist era to present day, finding that both traditional and socialist-era activities influence modern volunteering. While levels of volunteering may be comparable to Western Europe, it typically takes bonding rather than bridging forms. The report recommends acknowledging contributions to development goals, obtaining better data on impact, and managing the balance between old and new forms of volunteerism.
This document outlines a research study on the discourses that affect perceptions of asylum seekers in Australia. It discusses Australia's history of strict immigration policies and the "White Australia" policy. It also examines common myths and stereotypes that contribute to negative views of asylum seekers, such as the ideas that they are "queue jumpers" or do not have valid reasons for seeking asylum. The study aims to understand the criteria for granting asylum in Australia and the potential political disadvantages of accepting more asylum seekers.

Volunteer tourism involves travellers participating in volunteer work, such as conservation or development projects, in local communities they visit. It provides benefits like self-actualization and helping local development. Nepal is a case study as it relies on foreign aid and tourism due to its poverty and damage from earthquakes. Volunteer tourism could help rebuild Nepal through community work, teaching, animal rescue, building homes, cultural preservation, disaster relief, and medical or construction assistance.
This article discusses how social change organizations have adopted innovative, experiential techniques like participatory theater to promote active global citizenship and overcome apathy. It focuses on Oxfam Australia's "Refugee Realities" project, which used simulated experiences to educate about refugees' experiences. The author analyzes how such techniques can challenge attitudes by creating emotional connections and shared experiences that make distant issues feel real and motivate action. While effective, more research is needed on long-term impact and moving people from awareness to sustained action.
The document discusses the development of a new volunteer management model and life cycles by Volunteer Scotland to better meet the needs of volunteers, volunteer managers, and organizations. It outlines research showing a need to reconceptualize volunteering to make it more inclusive and appealing. The authors developed resources prioritizing volunteer needs, including defining what volunteers want in their experience based on past research. A new volunteer life cycle model is introduced to improve volunteer retention and progression.
This implementation guide is designed to introduce you to the topic of Integrating Refugees Through Sport by looking at the relevant theory that is the foundation for the area, the present situation – specifically in Europe, as well as the challenges and barriers that NGOs, sports clubs and other organisations or individuals often face when implementing or running an IRTS programme. This guide looks at the issue from the perspective of those involved: the refugees. Therefore, it also includes an overview of the barriers and challenges through the eyes of those displaced, and trying to build a new life in a new land. Potential solutions to these issues are also examined. So get inspired, get active, and help make a positive difference to both your community and people’s lives! #PlayTogether http://irts.isca.org/
1) The document discusses community engagement of immigrants and refugees in Greater Victoria. It examines how their cultural identities contribute to engagement in the host society.
2) It finds that during cultural adaptation, reasons for participating in activities differ - volunteering is seen as a civic duty, while religious activities help make friends and learn culture.
3) There are active and passive approaches to cultural adaptation - some immigrants want to share their culture and diversity, while others feel community engagement is important to not live in isolation. Cultural activities allow retaining unique characteristics like in a "salad bowl" model of cultural adaptation.
Critique The Role and Value of Social Recreation ProgrammesDel Kirwan
Social recreation programs provide benefits to participants such as improved self-confidence and social skills. They also benefit communities by promoting social interaction and inclusion. However, some troubled youth are difficult to engage and not all youth find sport appealing. Various organizations in Ireland run recreation programs for youth, including Foróige which works with 57,000 young people annually. These programs aim to empower youth and address issues like poverty and social exclusion. They can help youth become more culturally aware and accepting of other ethnicities, though some matches in mentoring programs may negatively influence some participants.
Running head: Research Proposal 1
RESEARCH PROPOSAL 7
My research proposal is about immigrants. Immigrants are people who leave their native country in order to seek a better future for them in a foreign country. In most cases, immigrants move from impoverished to developed countries. There are many reasons why immigrants decide to leave their home for a new one; these reasons include unemployment, civil war, political persecution, famine, among others. Some immigrants seek new countries on a temporary basis until they can build up finances and move back home while others move with an aim of setting up a permanent residence in their new country. Immigrants face many challenges in the course of their migration, if they cannot afford an air ticket they have to brave perilous traveling by vehicle or by ocean and once at their destination they have to contend with hostility from the citizens. We have to be sensitive to the plight of the immigrants, in order to make the world a better place.
Immigration is a force that has defined the United States of America and is continuing to mold our nation until now. In the seventeenth century, America experienced a wave of immigration from the European nations of Ireland, Italy, and Germany. These immigrants provided a boost to the economy of America, they provided cheap labor for the industries and established many enterprises some of which are present up to today. The nation of America, Canada and other European nations still experience heavy immigration into their borders (Hogarth, 2015).
In America’s election year, immigration is one of the hot topics debated by the presidential candidates. Politicians are prone to sugarcoating, and stating falsehoods in order to satisfy their agenda, it is important to research on immigrants in order to have a strong foothold of the facts of the matter (Shapiro & Vellucci, 2010). Furthermore, being more knowledgeable about immigrants will enable us to construct better policy that adequately addresses the issue of immigration rather than just deporting them, when they have sacrificed so much to make it to their new home.
I am interested in immigrants and immigration because it is one of the forces continuously shaping the world. It is the nature of man to seek always a better future. In the past, the forces that pushed immigration were famine and war, during famine people moved to productive areas, during war people moved to peaceful lands (Grikorenko, 2007). The main cause of immigration now is unemployment and better wages. It pays to understand the impact that immigrants have on their home countries and the nations where they set up new homes, knowing this will help to stem the tide of anti-immigrant sentiments .

Globalization has both benefits and costs. The benefits include increased trade and job opportunities in developing countries, which has helped lift many people out of poverty. However, globalization has also resulted in the outsourcing of jobs from developed countries. While it provides economic opportunities elsewhere, this outsourcing of jobs has costs for some populations. Overall, supporters argue that globalization's benefits outweigh its costs, as it promotes economic development and reduces poverty, but critics note it increases inequality between and within nations.

REPORTING AFRICA IN THE GLOBAL AGE: THE DIFFERENCE GLOBALISATION MAKESAusten Uche Uwosomah
Globalization has made some differences in how international media reports on Africa. Scholte's definition views globalization as increasing supraterritorial social connections between people worldwide. Bisley sees it as causing interconnected changes with uneven consequences. Both see the state as important. Globalization has increased Western journalists in Africa and dissemination of African news globally. However, Western media continues exploiting stereotypical images of crises and suffering in Africa, undermining its history and achievements. This fatigue's global audiences and reduces compassion over time despite increased awareness. While globalization spread news more, it did not change the negative focus on Africa.

Introduction:
Volunteer Tourism, or as it is popularly known Voluntarism is on the rise. More and more
people around the world are signing up for Voluntarism. (Abrahams, 2013) It is also referred
to as “Vacations in Service.” (Abrahams, 2013)Moreover, it is mutually beneficial to both the
host country as well as the visitors who volunteer for the vacations in those country. A case
can be sighted of the “CENTRAL KALIMANTAN ORANGUTAN REINTRODUCTION
PROGRAM” in Indonesia. (Bos Foundation, 2012) Established in 1999, with a specific
purpose of rehabilitating Orangutans in the region, it caters to tourists all around the globe.
The tourists are locally involved in providing rehabilitation to the Orangutans. (Bos
Foundation, 2012) The benefit for the host country, in this case Indonesia is that it gets help
in providing care to the Orangutans. The tourist benefits likewise by getting close up with the
natural environment of Indonesia and interacting with the local community.
Background of Voluntourism:
The thought of joining voluntary work with travel is not a new concept. Indeed, it can be
followed back for some thousands of years in different societies and religious requests all
through the world. (VolunTourism, 2011)
Voluntourism in its momentum emphasis got a huge support from the establishing of
Volunteer Service Overseas in 1958 by Alec and Mora Dickson and that of the U.s. Peace
Corps, created in 1961 amid the John F. Kennedy organization. (VolunTourism, 2011) Then
again, some would contend, and with great reason, that the association in the middle of travel
and volunteering in the Modern Era can be followed back to the work of Herb Feith in
Indonesia in 1951. (VolunTourism, 2011) Feith's commitment, the Volunteer Graduate
Scheme, today known as Australian Volunteers International, might extremely well have
5. 5 | P a g e
made ready for the association in the middle of travel and volunteering that has developed in
the 60 years since. (VolunTourism, 2011) Missionaries, healers and/or therapeutic experts,
mariners, pilgrims, and incalculable others have rendered administration in conjunction with
their ventures. (VolunTourism, 2011)
Purpose of the Research:
The purpose of this research is to formulate a viable and sustainable plan to introduce
Volunteer Tourism in Australia, on the basis of Market Segmentation, Targeting and
Positioning.
For this purpose, we will first need to review the literature available, and then apply the
available literature to formulating the plan.
The main focus of the plan will revolve around the identification of the segments in
Australian Tourism; these will be our potential target market. Then, we shall need to identify
which segment we need to target on, and finally plan and implement a positioning strategy
that appeals to our targeted segment.
Literature Review:
Volunteer abroad projects, regularly into the Global South, are a developing sensation,
especially among youth in the countries in North America as well as the European Union.
Different terms allude to volunteerism abroad, including voluntourism, altourism, (Epprecht,
2004) volunteer get-away, mission work or experiential learning. (Gilbert, 2005) Not these
projects are confined to youth, yet it is frequently youth who are focused on and partake. The
term voluntourism alludes to volunteer work and tourism, without assuming earlier learning
6. 6 | P a g e
of the intentions or activities of volunteers abroad. (Brown, 2005) Furthermore, the
demonstration of tourism can be seen as a voyeuristic method for encountering destitution
and diverse lifestyles. (Simpson, 2004) In this paper, voluntourism will allude to cooperation
in short-term (3 months or less), youth-centered, volunteer abroad projects. Writing in
backing of voluntourism, Judith Timson, reporter for The Globe and Mail, contends the most
imperative change is inside the volunteers. (Timson, 2008) Louise Brown, editorialist for the
Toronto Star, additionally imparts the point of view that voluntourism is about the volunteer's
self-awareness and turning into a worldwide subject, and she expresses that, for some
adolescent, voluntourism is likewise about building a decent résumé. (Brown, 2005)
However, neither particularly address the member's part in the host nation, and enigmatically
contend that it would be of some advantage yet don't recognize the likelihood that the
negative parts of voluntourism could exceed the positive. Timson reasons that, "At the
minimum, voluntourism can't harm. And who knows? It may well help change the world, one
advantaged child at once" . (Timson, 2008) Tan's general decisions are comparable and she
contends that voluntourism "constructs better residents" . So, both Timson and Brown accept
the preferences of voluntourism exceed the few, unidentified, results. From a scholarly yet
tourism-focused viewpoint, Sally Brown (2005) likewise underpins voluntourism in her
article, "Going with a Purpose: Understanding the Motives and Benefits of Volunteer
Vacationers." (Brown, 2005) Brown contends, "The continuing advantageous impacts base
on the advancements of both self as well as other people, and in addition social relationship
upgrade". (Brown, 2005) These social relationship upgrades are focused around the
conviction that interfacing with nearby group parts advances shared understanding,
connection with travel associates cultivates companionship and working with relatives
advances holding (Brown, 2005). As opposed to the three past writers, Benjamin Sichel
(2006) is disparaging of voluntourism in his article "'I've Come to Help': Can Tourism and
7. 7 | P a g e
Altruism Mix?" (Sichel, 2006)Sichel contends that the "implicit suspicion incorporated with
numerous volunteer-abroad projects. (Sichel, 2006) is that it is proper and helpful for
voyagers from the North to go to the South and do physical and/or humble work just in light
of the fact that they are affluent and taught" . He is questionable that the potential advantage
for the host nation could be generous and contends that voluntourism strengthens
generalizations in the view of both the volunteers and local people Sichel contends that most
volunteers want to have any kind of effect on the planet however may acknowledge amid
their experience that their endeavors abroad are presumably not the best approach to do so. In
the event that voluntourism undertakings do happen, (Sichel, 2006) Sichel contends for a
grounded learning in "political, social, and social setting of the nation [volunteers] are going
to, particularly as it identifies with whatever part their nation of origin has played" (Sichel,
2006)Jane Gilbert (2005) shares this perspective, expressing in her article "Learning toward
oneself is the Prerequisite of Humanity" that help specialists must get to be mindful to
distinguish their predispositions. (Gilbert, 2005) These two creators contend that authentic
and discriminating information of the host nation is basic to benefitting as much as possible
from voluntourism for both members and host.
Plan for Voluntourism in Australia:
Market Segment:
To recognize a target market, the marketer distinguishes the particular needs of gatherings of
individuals (or fragments), chooses one or a greater amount of these portions as a target, and
creates marketing projects guided to each. (Belch and Belch, 2004)This methodology has
discovered expanded materialness in marketing for various reasons, including changes in the
market (buyers are getting to be a great deal more differing in their needs, state of mind, and
ways of life); expanded utilization of segmentation by contenders; and the way that more
8. 8 | P a g e
administrators are prepared in segmentation and understand the points of interest connected
with this technique. (Belch and Belch, 2004) Maybe the best clarification, on the other hand,
comes once more to the essential preface that you must understand however much as could
be expected about purchasers to plan marketing projects that meet their needs generally
adequately. (Belch and Belch, 2004) Moreover, as marketers make a shared view with
customers, the more successful they will be in tending to these prerequisites in their
correspondences projects and educating and/or inducing potential purchasers that the item or
administration offering will address their needs. (Belch and Belch, 2004)Marketers
contending in about all item classifications are continually hunting down approaches to
portion their markets trying to better fulfill clients' necessities Marketers may utilize one of
the segmentation variables or a mix of methodologies. Consider the market segmentation
method that may be utilized to market snow skis. The customer's way of life dynamic,
carefree, appreciates outside games is surely imperative. Be that as it may so are different
elements, for example, age, salary, and conjugal status. (Belch and Belch, 2004)
Market Segment in Australia:
Inbound tourism is a critical fare industry for Australia that creates more than a quarter of a
million employments. Indeed it is Australia's fourth biggest earner of remote trade dollars and
speaks to 11.2% of aggregate fare profit from the 5 million worldwide guests in the June
2001 budgetary year. (Australian Government, 2011-2015) Each billion dollars in tourism
send out profit makes 11,367 employments and fare income is relied upon to develop to 30.8
billion in 2008-9. (Australian Government, 2011-2015) In the most recent year, the
Australian High Commission has issued quite recently under 40,000 working occasion visas
to the UK market (the hiker market speaks to more than 100,000 guests). (Australian
9. 9 | P a g e
Government, 2011-2015) The working occasion plan plans to give chances to youngsters (18-
30) to occasion in Australia for up to a year while supplementing their trusts through work.
(Australian Government, 2011-2015) Australia is an attractive nation to both live and work
(no dialect issues for the UK voyager) and a working visa gives a flawless chance to
consolidate going with working. (Australian Government, 2011-2015)Key exchange
accomplices have presented visa preparing administrations alongside employment contacts
and counseling administrations to urge explorers to make utilization of the opportunity.
Australia has numerous attractions and is one of the world's best hiking occasion ends of the
line. The global vacationer industry nonetheless, is very aggressive and Europeans wishing to
travel have numerous short, medium and long term ends from which to pick. The expanding
number of option, reasonable occasion opportunities on offer speaks to an impressive,
continuous test for the Australian Tourist Commission (ATC).
Target Market:
In the wake of segmenting the market focused around the distinctive gatherings and classes,
you will need to pick your targets. Nobody method will suit all purchaser aggregates, so
having the capacity to create particular methodologies for your target markets is essential.
(Toolkit, n.d)
There are three general methods for selecting your target markets:
Undifferentiated Targeting: This methodology sees the market as one gathering with no
individual sections, subsequently utilizing a solitary marketing system. This procedure may
be helpful for a business or item with little rivalry where you should not have to tailor
strategies for distinctive inclination. (Toolkit, n.d)
Concentrated Targeting: This methodology concentrates on selecting a specific market
specialty on which marketing endeavors are focused on. Your firm is concentrating on a
10. 10 | P a g e
solitary section so you can focus on understanding the needs and needs of that specific
market personally. Little firms frequently profit from this procedure as concentrating on one
section empowers them to contend successfully against bigger firms. (Toolkit, n.d)
Multi-Segment Targeting: This methodology is utilized in the event that you have to spotlight
on two or all the more decently characterized market sections and need to create diverse
systems for them. Multi portion focusing on offers numerous profits however can be
expensive as it includes more prominent data from administration, expanded market inquire
about and expanded special techniques. (Toolkit, n.d)
Our Target Market:
Based on the available segments in the tourism sector for Australia, we have identified the
back-packing tourists from UK as well as South Korea to be our primary target market. These
tourists are generally young and have a liking for adventure and interaction with new people.
Moreover, they like to be involved with the local culture, and try local cuisines and traditions.
Positioning:
Positioning is creating an item and brand picture in the personalities of customers. It can
likewise incorporate enhancing a client's recognition about the experience they will have on
the off chance that they decide to buy your item or administration. (Toolkit, n.d)The business
can decidedly impact the impression of its picked client base through vital limited time
exercises and via precisely characterizing your business' marketing blend.
Compelling positioning includes a decent understanding of contending items and the profits
that are looked for by your target market. It likewise obliges you to recognize a differential
11. 11 | P a g e
focal point with which it will convey the obliged profits to the market adequately against the
opposition. (Toolkit, n.d)Business ought to expect to characterize themselves according to
their clients with respect to their rival.
Positioning Strategies:
When it comes to tourism, probably the most important tool in modern times for marketers is
Social Media websites such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and even travel websites such as
Expedia. It has been proved that social media plays an aggressive part in determining choices
for destination for a person looking to travel.
There are a few many informal communities and their number continues developing by the
day. The most prominent ones are Facebook, Google, Linkedin, Skype, Yelp, Bing, Twitter
and Tripadvisor, yet there are scores of others. There are such a large number of diverse
online networking locales out there tending to from audits to interchanges that for a lodging
manager or supervisor knowing where to start can be an overwhelming prospect [4].
Overseeing lodging surveys, both positive and negative is unquestionably a need for chiefs.
Destinations like Tripadvisor and Yelp.com are continually in the radar of directors to
evaluate client experience. A dialog on the positive and negative viewpoints is basic to
understand the degree of the effect of social networking. The investigating destinations can
have generally more effect than the upgraded interchanges locales, for example, the Facebook
or Twittter locales.Our main positioning strategy shall center around Social Media, and
promotions shall likewise take place on such sites.
There some key points to be adhered while we form our strategy, they are:
Voluntourists have accentuated the imperativeness of group - included and
contributed - to the point of owning a voluntourism program in a given objective. It
12. 12 | P a g e
simply isn't a genuine voluntourism program unless it has a place with the
neighborhood group.
The desires of Voluntourists not meeting the truth of the experience. This has ended
up so pervasive that it skirts on being a voluntourism pandemic.
Cash - where it goes, the amount of stays in the nearby group, the amount of
voluntourism encounters cost, and so on - has turned into a state of colossal conflict
far and wide.
The Plan:
We have identified our target market as young back packing tourists from UK and South
Korea, as they represent the lion’s share of visitors in the country for the past few years. The
plan can be assimilated as follows:
1. Segment:
With a variety of visitors coming into Australia each year for vacations, the
market segment is huge and similarly diverse.
2. Target Market:
Based on the segmentation, we have identified backpackers from South Korea
and UK to be our core market.
3. Positioning:
The PLAN will be served as the essential main thrust behind the creation,
improvement, and execution of the Plan. The PLAN attempts to tell potential
voluntourists about the voluntourism program and to liaise between these
guests, , neighborhood entrepreneurs - lodging, restaurants, and so on - nearby
inhabitants.The PLAN does not leave these things to risk, as is frequently the
case in numerous ends over the world. The PLAN appears to understand the
13. 13 | P a g e
extravagance of the specific experience to which it can present voluntourists
and how these voluntourists can turn into the best manifestation of "verbal
publicizing" for Bayfield that could ever be produced.
How often do we hear basic editorial on the desires of voluntourists not
meeting the truth of the experience? This will be ended up so pervasive that it
skirts on being a voluntourism pandemic. With the Plan, then again, taking
part voluntourists would be hard pressed to settle on an uneducated choice
about selecting in for this attempt. The dialect around the system is clear.
There are testimonials from past members. Voluntourists realize what the
climate will be similar to.
Voluntourists will be working with creatures; voluntourists will be outside;
voluntourists will be working nearby neighborhood volunteers and going to
voluntourists; voluntourists will be having the local cuisine. As it were, as a
potential voluntourists know precisely what's in store. In the event that the
system does not fit voluntourists once voluntourists arrive, it is in all
probability clarified as a disappointment on voluntouristsr part to settle on
cognizant choices in the matter of whether these things resound with
voluntourists actually.
Likewise, when an end of the line advertising association like the PLAN is
included in the development and advancement of a voluntourism program,
voluntourists ought to be really energized. Participantss are not by and large
paid for making and creating these projects. They depend on an alternate
salary stream and distinctive measurements out and out - their prosperity is
predicated on two things: financial profits to the nearby group (and, along
these lines, the achievement of the organizations and Ngos which they speak
14. 14 | P a g e
to in their individual objectives), and a positive perspective of tourism and the
goal visitor trade.
At long last, Participantss are unrealistic to get a commission, "kick-back," or
any kind of immediate installment as an aftereffect of a "deal" of a specific
system to a voluntourist. Rather, they are centered around juggling the
connections between nearby governments, neighborhood groups,
neighborhood organizations & Ngos, and guests. As voluntourism keeps on
developping and expand around the planet, we will most likely see all the
more such "unbiased" institutional contribution in the creation, advancement,
and guided execution of voluntourism
Conclusions:
The accessible information on voluntourism frequently mixes together administration based
voluntourism information with that of the enterprise travel and eco-tourism business sector
portions, which, as I would like to think, weakens the legitimacy of the information. The
theory I might want to see tried is whether there is a substantial standard explorer portion that
would be propelled to buy a voluntourism-enhanced family get-away if value, solace level
and saw security were proportional to that of a common shoreline or voyage excursion. My
reasoning is that in these post-recessionary times numerous families are as yet delaying
"prize" and "silly" spending, whether a consequence of reduced obtaining power or basically
on good grounds. A family voluntourism excursion could battle these deterrents to travel. On

the off chance that, amid a week of excursion, a family could impart the experience of
helping other people, they would in all probability not consider the experience to act naturally
liberal or pointless. Despite what might be expected, such a get-away can be both a holding
knowledge for the family and a showing background for young children and girls that can
serve to re-adjust their mental self portrait and way of life desires, with respect to others in
less blessed groups and circumstances.
It creates the impression that at the extravagance end of the travel market, there is a climbing
tide of Voluntourism choices. Travelanthropist.com reports that significant travel associations
including Conde Nast Traveler magazine, Ritz Carlton, and Abercrombie & Kent have all
settled projects, for example, the "Give Back Getaways" (a logbook of more or less 50
occasions every year in Ritz Carlton ends of the line far and wide) that make it simpler for
extravagance explorers to get to volunteer open doors while voyaging both locally and
abroad. Hands Up Holidays, which bills itself as "Extravagance Volunteer Travel" offers a
mixed bag of travels that consolidate touring and voluntourism, with schedules positioned by
movement level and solace level. For more cost cognizant explorers, associations like
Globeaware - Adventures in Service, offer one-week voluntourism treks to numerous outside
areas at more humble costs. Facilities can be in host family homes or "unobtrusive motels".
Travelocity has a program that concedes go grants to candidates who partake in the
voluntourism offerings of Globeaware and a few different suppliers. Notwithstanding, such
lodging may be off-putting to upscale or less dauntless voyagers.
While opportunities may be expanding at the extravagance and plan finishes of the business
sector, there seem, by all accounts, to be few decisions for the huge center business sector of
families who plan $1000 to $1500 every individual every week for a family excursion and
expect an upscale cluster of items and administrations.

The capacity of tourism to help vital social points was perceived at the conception of the
cutting edge tourism sensation. Thomas Cook could be depicted as the father of advanced,
mass tourism. He used the then new track engineering to compose cheap trips for the new
common laborers made in the industrialisation procedure of the United Kingdom. In spite of
the fact that it took until 1850 for Thomas Cook's stunning authoritative aptitudes and
prescience to pay off in benefits, Cook was propelled as much by magnanimous points as
business objectives While it is decently recorded how Cook's short prepare travels in
England expanded in degree and in mechanical association to create broad visits to the Great
Exhibition in Paris in 1855 and then to ends far and wide, for example, India, Egypt and the
Holy Lands
