A good number of volunteers, representing various facets of the travel, tourism and hospitality industries are required to demonstrate their commitment to giving back by assisting the various local governments in sprucing up the areas around tourism locations.
Students and non-tourism NGOs can also be roped in to join the travel professionals. Students studying hospitality and tourism at local colleges and universities should also be asked to join this scheme.
The group’s efforts can upgrade the overall appearance of the park benches and walkways while demonstrating their commitment to preserve the travel experience for future generations.
The volunteers will be amazed with the amount of work they can accomplished in just one day - saving the local governments in labor costs especially at a time when budgets are very tight.
Tourism Volunteer Day can also be created to honor the 1Malaysia campaign which was established to expand the mission of national community service and to recognize September 16 as a national day of service and remembrance.
