    Promoting Chinese youth visit and training programs: salient features of Hainan University students experience Sheng Zhengjie Abstract In the recent years, Chinese government in higher education system has been promoting tourists who want to learn, explore and experience firsthand new places in and outside China. They do it by visiting not only major tourist attrac- tions of China but also visiting nearby foreign countries. Taking Hainan University as an example, this study assesses pattern of tourism behavior, destination selection, of college students taking holiday vacations while travelling to vari- ous destinations. It employs a random survey approach and utilizes sample data analysis to detect the direction and demand for key tourist attractions. Suggestions are put forward regarding the current demand of students’ main tourist markets. The paper concludes by describing further need to promote even more orchestrated assessment and an inten- sive approach to analysis and development of growing university students’ tourist market. The earlier version of this article was written at the Hainan University in 2018 and the author wishes to express thanks and gratitude for guidance to Assoc. Prof. Lirong Zhu. 1. Introduction 3.

  • The Farewell Tour
    The New York Times October 8, 2006 The Farewell Tour By RALPH GARDNER Jr. DIANE McWHORTER was visiting colleges down South with her daughter Lucy, a high school senior, while listening to the Pixies song, —Hey,“ on the car‘s CD player. It‘s a song whose chorus repeats the lyrics —We‘re chained“ 17 times. —Lucy said, ”If I were making a movie, I‘d definitely put this song on the soundtrack,‘ “ Ms. McWhorter recalled. —‘It would be right before the character is about to commit suicide.‘“ Ms. McWhorter was having the same disturbing thoughts. —Here‘s a little moment of mother-daughter telepathy,“ she said proudly. Obviously, the two New Yorkers had been together in the car for too long. But the song and the ride served its purpose: not to help Lucy decide where she wants to go to college next year – that‘s the icing on the cake – but as an opportunity for Ms. McWhorter, however idiosyncratically, to bond with her teenager. —I found it very moving,“ Ms. McWhorter said of the trip. —It‘s a concrete version of a rite of passage.“ Ms. McWhorter, the Pulitzer-winning author of —Carry Me Home,“ about the civil rights struggle in her hometown, Birmingham, Ala., added: —Usually, you only realize these things in retrospect. It‘s a rite of passage in real time.“ Back when Baby Boomers were applying to college, it wasn‘t unusual to see the school where you would be spending the next four years of your life for the first time when your parents pulled the packed family station wagon up to your freshman dorm.

  • “Sustainable Tourism- a Tool for Development”
    WORLD TOURISM DAY- 2017 “Sustainable Tourism- a Tool for Development” #TravelEnjoyRespect DEPARTMENT OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION -TEZPUR UNIVERSITY- UTTARAN- 2017 SPECIAL EDITION FOREWORD Dr. Papori Baruah, Professor and Head Department of Business Administration, Tezpur University I am greatly pleased that the students have come out with yet another edition of ‘Uttaran’ coinciding with the ‘World Tourism Day’. I congratulate the students and the faculty for this effort. The theme Sustainable Tourism is indeed very apt in present day context. We have seen several destinations in the world creating havoc to the environment and the artefacts by unplanned management of tourism activities. This has happened to the snow-capped mountains of the Himalayas to seaside destinations of Thailand. Hence, we must relook at our tourism strategies to conserve the pristine beauty of nature and preserve the heritage for future. We need to shift our focus from gaining mere economic benefit through exploitation of resources to sustainability. I am sure that the articles published in ‘Uttaran’ will at least try to usher some change in the mind-set of the readers. Best wishes.

Currently there is a need for more educational programs and resources to help stress the importance of remaining in school and eventually attending higher educational institutions, prior to aging out. This program will include a total of twelve foster youth. Selection of youth will be based off references from their social workers and the disclosure of information from the Sacramento County. In order to expose foster youth to higher educational opportunities within California, the City of Davis will help to implement this program and provide these youth with a fun and empowering experience that will positively affect the future of their lives.

  • Flagstaff Visitor Study 2017-2018
    Acknowledgements The authors would like to recognize all the people who helped to make this study possible. First, thanks go to the Flagstaff Convention & Visitors Bureau, which has been an advocate of tourism research to inform its marketing and promotion efforts. In particular, we want to thank Trace Ward, Flagstaff CVB Director, and Lori Pappas, Marketing and Public Relations Manager, for their support and participation in the project. Without the support of everyone at the CVB, this critical market research project would not have been possible. Thanks also go to Kari Roberg, Research Manager and Colleen Floyd, Director of Research at the Arizona Office of Tourism without whose help this project would also not have been possible. We want to acknowledge the help of many individuals in the Flagstaff tourism community who were key to the success of this project, including: • Little America Hotel – Susan Jennings • Flagstaff Visitor Center – Anna Good • Museum of Northern Arizona – Suzanne Shenton • Flagstaff Extreme – Rachel Buzzard • Lowell Observatory – Molly Baker • Best Western Pony Soldier Inn & Suites – Scott Grams and Mark Ross • Residence Inn by Marriott Downtown – Misty Medina • DoubleTree by Hilton Flagstaff – Belen Mendez • GreenTree Inn – Frank Benitez • The Weatherford – Klaudia Ness The dedicated staff at these locations contacted visitors, asked them to complete the survey, and collected responses. It was through their efforts that this project achieved the sample sizes needed. Finally, we extend a special thank you to all those who visited Flagstaff and agreed to share information about their experiences. Without their willingness to participate in the survey process, this report simply would not have been possible.
