Developing Community Tourism Businesses as part of the Tour Operator Supply C...Wild Asia
This presentation is about incorporating sustainable practices that empower local communities into tour operator supply chains. The tour operator working directly with its foundation, is working directly with communities to empower underserved women and youth to access market-driven approaches to create sustainable businesses. There is often a resource gap between non-profit organizations and blended-social purpose businesses that are attempting to benefit the communities in which they work. Without a strong market, these non-profits or community tourism projects often fold and fail. However, when partnered with a for-profit operator, tourism businesses have one of the greatest reaches and spread to provide opportunity for marginalized communities, and allow social enterprises to scale, access knowledge transfer, and develop their first revenue generating programs.

environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

21. Unskilled Free Labor
What it looks like:
Volunteers pay to travel to a country to see the
country; meet locals; and do activities that locals
already have the skills to do.
Short Term
Volunteers may have no local language skills.
Driven by volunteer interests rather than by
community needs.
22. Unskilled Free Labor
Examples:
Flying to other countries and distributing
stuff (toys, books, etc.).
Volunteering with children
Building schools/health
clinics/libraries/houses

usually benefit locals, why do
they keep accepting volunteers?
They need:
• money.
• advocacy.
• fundraising.
• connections to the outside world.

45. The 5 Lessons
1. Good Intentions ≠ Doing Good
2. You have to know what they need in order to
fill the gap.
3. Act based on evidence/research.
4. Free Labor can help if you have skills and
time.
5. Sustainable travel can create livelihoods and
reduce poverty.
Good Afternoon everyone! I’m thrilled to be here today and to have a chance to speak on this broad topic – Doing Good Better in the World. I’ve been nervous about this talk because I’m scared that all of you are going to be listening to my comments and thinking – “WOW- This woman is so critical. She’s a bad person!” But, hear me out and know that my comments are grounded in my background in the field of international development, which is poverty reduction in low and middle income countries as well as research on Effective Altruism – which is a movement to use the limited resources in this world to do good in the most efficient way. My comments are also grounded in my years of living, working, and travelling in low and middle income countries, which is an interest that I’m guessing many of you share.
Volunteer work = helping. Mission work = helping. Donating stuff = helping. “I started an NGO to help people!!!” does not = helping. Service Learning may or may not be helping. You can’t assume that because it is called helping that it is actually doing good.
[not about what you think they need; want to do; what you have to give them..]
I’m sure you’ve all heard the old saying, “Give a man a fish and you’ll feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you’ll feed him for a lifetime.” … But what if he already knows how to fish, but you never asked what he needed and so didn’t know that it was actually that he needed a fishing pole to be able to do it… or maybe it was that he ran out of bait? … or maybe the real root of the problem of why he doesn’t have fish is because the new factory down river was polluting the water and they couldn’t eat the fish anymore…. Maybe advocacy is what the real need is… We have to find out what people actually NEED to know how to help.
People want give something tangible and get warm fuzzies and immediate thank yous. They want to see the results of their work in a tangible form and get instant gratification… but Haiti really doesn’t need your old t-shirts and you won’t save the world on your 1 week volunteer trip. Development is a long term process where each person contributes a piece to a greater puzzle… it takes months and years.
The trouble is that this kind of process of using data and research to do the most efficient development intervention takes time and research, and many people are more interested in following their heart and acting spur of the moment than they are doing lots of research.

Greg Mortenson “Three Cups of Tea”’s schools in Pakistan and Afghanistan were vacant because no one could pay the teachers or furnish supplies. Health Clinics don’t treat patients, health care workers do and you have to pay their salaries. Building stuff is complicated. There are years worth of research on how to do it better, and this certainly doesn’t involve unskilled tourists doing it themselves.
Books, toys, sporting goods, food, candy, etc.

MAINTENANCE
Exchange free labor/skills for learning, a work experience for your resume, or free room/board.
When I looked on Idealist for remote volunteering requests, there were over 2000… You’ll have to screen the positions carefully to be sure the organizations are actually doing good and are legit… and develop/document some skills!!
The United Nations 70th General Assembly has designated 2017 as the International Year of Sustainable Tourism for Development
The Global Youth Travel Market in 2009 was $190 BILLION, and has been steadily rising despite the economic downturn and ebola. In 2014, it was worth $286 Billion. The official development finance to ALL developing countries in 2009 was less than the youth travel figure at 181, and it barely rose to 182 in 2014. Furthermore…. Youth travel expenditures are projected to rise to $400 Billion by 2020… twice the aid budget. This means that you are a HUGE MARKET. The market is oriented toward giving students what they want…
