摘要

The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Co. is inviting guests to volunteer while vacationing. The Give Back Getaways program, launched in April, expands Ritz-Carlton's employee-based Community Footprints social responsibility initiative to include guest volunteers. The half-day volunteer tourism opportunities-"voluntourism," in industry parlance-are now available at all Ritz-Carlton hotels worldwide. On a smaller scale, other hotel industry operators are offering similar experiences. Loews Hotels, for example, offers a Volunteer Vacation package at its Loews Coronado Bay Resort in partnership with California State Parks and Silver Strand State Beach. Why the sudden interest from hotel brands in making such opportunities available? The answer is simple: customer demand. Online travel agent Traveloc-ity found in its 2008 forecast poll that 38% of respondents were interested in taking a vacation where they could give back and make a difference during their stay. Like the Loews package, most of Ritz-Carlton's voluntourism offerings are relevant and indigenous to a property's local community. Some projects are seasonal, while others allow for participation several times each week.
