Why is voluntary travel popular among college students?

According to reports, with the National Day holiday approaching, the price of many tourist markets has quietly increased, and food, accommodation and tickets are expensive. Therefore, some college students choose to travel in the form of "volunteer travel" and volunteer for the destination hotel in exchange for free accommodation, so volunteer travel is very popular among college students.

According to the report, Lai Ziying is a senior at Huazhong Normal University. Before the summer vacation last year, she saw the information of recruiting summer volunteers for youth travel on the Internet. The summer vacation came, and Lai Ziying's volunteer trip to Xiamen finally took place. The hotel business is not very busy. She starts cleaning the guest room at 9: 00 every morning, cooks for the clerk at noon, can "go out to play" in the afternoon, and can rest on weekends 1 day. The 20-day trip allowed Lai Ziying to take photos in the circle of friends.

However, some college students said that they came to a hotel in Dali through the introduction of a volunteer platform on WeChat official account. The recruitment information said that they stayed in a single room, but after arriving at the store, they could only share a room with three other volunteers and sleep in bunk beds. Wipe the floor, clean the room and brush the toilet every day, and work for more than 10 hours, but he has to cook three meals a day by himself. He can't cook and ate instant noodles for more than ten days. More than half a month has passed, and I haven't left Fiona Fang.

Experts say that volunteer tourism is different from pure tourism, because it also has the content of labor relations, and many problems arising from it belong to labor disputes. In view of the fact that the relevant industry system in China has not yet been established, volunteer travel can easily become a means for a few stores to hire cheap labor, so college students should be cautious when choosing.
