Question 1: Traffic safety
When children participate in activities abroad, the biggest safety hazard is the traffic problem. At present, some study abroad organizations want to visit as many places as possible in the shortest time with limited funds; Moreover, although the international flight tickets purchased by travel agencies are cheap, they often need to change planes, which has certain risks. Moreover, most of the time is spent on buses, which poses traffic safety hazards. If we only consider reducing costs, it is even more dangerous to hire inexperienced drivers.
Question 2: Host family
Another unsafe problem is family accommodation. Many children have no overseas travel experience. After going abroad, their language environment is still limited to Chinese, and there are few opportunities for contact with local people. Therefore, some travel agencies pay attention to the advertisements published in local newspapers for host families to sign up. Often, some families with poor economic conditions "invite" these children to live at home from abroad for the purpose of making money.
These study tour institutions are not clear about the family background of the landlord, and naturally they can't manage security issues. "Some families promised that some family members would live with these children, but when they got there, it was an empty room." Scott said that three little girls took part in a study tour and were arranged to live in a host family. As a result, as soon as I got there, my parents went on a business trip, leaving only one man at home, afraid to stay any longer.
Question 3: Poor care.
The third security issue is supervision. Tour guides and leading teachers are often equipped in groups, and there are many teams, so they can't take care of every child. The diet in the trip is a popular tourist meal, with a single taste and lack of nutrition, and they can't provide any professional medical assistance services.
Moreover, many local travel agencies arrange for their children to stay in hotels or hotels in remote places in the suburbs, far from the city center. If one or two part-time college students take dozens of children to summer camp, and these college students want to have a chance to go out to play abroad, how can they ensure that their children don't sneak out to play at night? There are many examples of children delaying the next day's trip because of fun at night, and no one knows about the accident outside.
