Servas Open Doors Newsletter 2018 Vol. 2 1 Vol. 2018: December Open Doors Servas International is an international, non-profit, non-governmental federation of national Servas groups, supporting an international network of hosts and travellers. Our network aims to help build world peace, goodwill and understanding by offering opportunities for personal contacts between people of different cultures, backgrounds and nationalities. National Secretary’s Report – SICOGA 2018 By Chris-Ann Lauria It was a sunny October afternoon in Seoul, when Servas members from over 50 countries arrived on the steps of the International Youth Conference Centre to begin the 31st Servas International Conference and General Assembly (SICOGA). With the theme ‘Connecting People and Cultures for Peace’, South Korean Servas members hosted nearly 170 people. Six days and nights were filled with Servas business and cultural exchange as people met, talked, debated, laughed, and danced. Phyllis Chinn and I shared the US delegate role. We were among 52 delegates, who put in 10-hour days presenting, discussing, amending and voting on motions that will impact Servas in years to come. Of significance was the motion introduced by Italy to change how member countries contribute funds to Servas International. We decided that in place of stamps, a country’s annual payment will be based on: average payments from the past three years, number of members, and the relative wealth of the member country based on GDP. This new fee structure will be tested from 2019 to 2021 and implemented in 2021. During that time period, we will pay Servas International the average of our payment over the last 3 years. The Servas International website, received much attention. A Servas International Membership & Technology Committee was formed and a 3-year budget for website development was approved. Servas’ commitment not only to peace-building, but support of the UN’s 17 Sustainable Developmental Goals (SDGs) and ethical travel, was emphasized throughout the conference. Several motions were made addressing the need to acknowledge climate change as a global issue and encourage member countries to act. Servas International statutes were amended to reflect a commitment to minimizing our ecological footprint. Additionally, work is being done to create a carbon offset program on the SI website.

I simply liked the idea of not staying in hotels while traveling. So I got the host list of my planned trip and blasted out a simple email with my travel dates a couple weeks before I left. I probably just blind copied everyone; in English. Not surprisingly, I didn’t get any responses. Since then, I’ve also been a host, and have seen every sort of traveler request possible, and I now realize that a more personal touch that takes into consideration the way the host wants to be contacted is better. Some hosts in heavily-tourist areas get bombarded with requests, and other hosts off the beaten path don’t. We’ve heard from travelers – and maybe experienced ourselves – about the frustration of sending out a request to stay and getting no response at all, not even a “no, we can’t host”. So, in this day of super-fast communication, where other sites and services can be set up instantly, how do we train our members to communicate – and respond – for the best success? I’d like to update and expand the list of helpful hints, of general rules, as people are looking for US hosts. Perhaps in this digital age, we need some additional suggestions. Perhaps it’s simply that our list of suggestions that comes with the *complete* host list is not being seen by travelers who are now using our online map-of-hosts feature. (a great feature! Check it out if you haven’t at https://usservas.org/find-hosts If you see anything amiss with your map pin, let me know). So perhaps we simply need to get the list below out in front of the map program. Please help me update and/or add things to this suggestion list by sending me your thoughts from your experiences. You can email me directly at [email protected] . Here’s what’s already in the host list regarding *how to communicate with hosts*: Be sensitive and respectful of your hosts’ values and customs. Learn about the area where you will be visiting, use travel guides, books and maps so you can be prepared. Consider contacting hosts outside major cities. WMT indicates Wants more travelers. Read the host listings carefully to understand what the host is able to offer and what each country expects of the visiting travelers. Each request should be individualized...no mass emails. Contact hosts well in advance and include a copy of your Letter of Introduction and the purpose of your travel. 3 2 ; US Servas Open Doors Vol 2018: December Only call between 9 am and 9 pm host’s local time; do not expect hosts to return your long distance call at their expense. DO confirm arrangements before arriving and notify your hosts if your schedule or arrival time has changed and if you should eat before you arrive. Present your original Letter of Introduction to your hosts at the door when you arrive… before being asked. Any travel companions (18 and older) must have their own LOI. Servas membership does not guarantee anyone the “right” to free hospitality. Servas hosts, on the other hand, do have the right to refuse a homestay request… even without an explanation. Be polite and understanding when a host, who finds it inconvenient to receive you, must say “No.” Please take this set of guidelines along with you and refer to them on your trip. As a host, what else do you need from travelers? What should we add to this list? If you’ve NOT responded to a request from a traveler, can you tell me why? If you’ve found yourself saying no to travelers, is there a reason other than scheduling conflicts? If you’ve had success or failures while hosting or traveling that could shed light on how hosts and travelers can do better, please share with me at [email protected] and I’ll work with the board to get things added to the website and/or the host list. Tys Sniffen [email protected] Making Connections is an extended-stay program that allows Servas members the opportunity to meet with individuals from over 100 countries, building bridges of understanding through various projects or activities. Projects can be organized around cultural, educational, language, social, volunteer, special interest, or social activism experiences. They can be initiated anywhere: big cities, suburbs, or rural areas. Making Connections is a great way for Servas members who receive few travellers to attract more of them.

As I reflect back contemplating on writing this message, so many emotions flood back. There have been instances where I was desperate not knowing how to move forward with the burden of not having adequate funding for most of the programs, saddened by many donors changing their priority and moving out of the country due to shrinking space in the country giving us little hope. However we did not falter on our vision and never gave up hope. Opportunities were presented to us through new propositions for funding and we received these opportunities with open arms and grateful hearts.

  • Projected Economic Growth in North & East Regions Will Be 13 Per Cent
    Published in Canada by The Times of Sri Lanka Vol.9 JUNE 2011 Projected economic growth in North & East regions will be 13 per cent over five years The economy of Sri Lanka’s once war-torn Northern and Eastern provinces are set to grow by around 13 percent per annum from 2011 onwards for the next five years, according to the Governor of the Central Bank of Sri Lanka (CBSL). CBSL Governor Ajith Nivard Cabraal (inset) made these remarks in delivering the 60th Anniversary Oration of the CBSL a fortnight ago, on the topic of ‘Promoting financial inclusiveness – The experience of the past two years’. “There is a clear drive towards holistic development in the North and East to ensure that people sustain their economic achievements and translate them into a way of life. We expect that the range of investments made in these provinces will result in a growth rate of around 13 percent per annum in these provinces, from 2011 onwards for the next five years,” Cabraal said. According to the Governor, it has been encouraging to see that the Northern Province (NP) had recorded the highest nominal growth rate of 14% in 2009 ahead of all other Provinces although on a low base. The contribution to the country’s GDP by the NP increased to 3.3% in 2009 from 2.8% in 2006. The Eastern Province on the other hand recorded the second-highest nominal growth rate of all provinces, at 14% in 2009 while its contribution to the country’s GDP increased to 5.8% in 2009 from 4.9% in 2006.

  • Tourism Governance for Sustainable Heritage Tourism in Sri Lankan
    Tourism Governance for Sustainable Heritage Tourism in Sri Lankan Heritage Destinations Sivesan Sivanandamoorthy This thesis is submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Education and Arts Federation University Australia Ballarat, Victoria Australia Submitted in December 2016 ABSTRACT This thesis investigates tourism governance models for sustainable heritage tourism in Kandy, a world heritage city situated in central Sri Lanka. Additionally, it explains how the success of sustainable heritage tourism has underpinned sustainable livelihoods development from a socio-cultural perspective. The main objective is to find, identify and assess the influence of tourism governance on sustainable heritage tourism in Sri Lanka. Stemming from this approach is the development of a tourism governance model for sustainable heritage tourism in Kandy. This thesis is intended as a response to the challenges of adopting a sustainable livelihoods development approach. Accordingly, it investigates the role sustainable heritage tourism plays in host community development within the context of sociocultural, economic and environmental aspects in Kandy. Employing a qualitative methodological approach, this thesis is underpinned by an interpretive research philosophy. Research data was collected through field-based in- country interviews and open-ended questionnaires as this approach allowed respondents to offer more information and to include their feelings, attitudes and understanding of the subject. Research results from in-country fieldwork reveal that tourism governance models have a major influence on the viability of sustainable heritage tourism at Sri Lankan heritage destinations. Macro-scale and micro-scale factors were found to be influential in tourism governance models. Additionally, sustainable heritage tourism was found to be a persuasive factor in host community development.
