Family Vacations & Youth Travel – A Comparison
|
FAMILY VACATIONS |
YOUTH TRAVEL & EDU-TRAVEL |
|---|---|
| Family vacations are mostly recreational | Education travel includes focus on linguistic cognizance, cultural exposure & getting to know people constituting a global experience |
| Purpose of a Family vacation – Spending quality time with family members | Education travels have multiple purposes – especially enhancing the capacity to handle Cultural Shocks! |
| Family vacation ideas include sight-seeing & visiting new places | Education tours travel as a learning experience is like a lesson on living life independently |
| Vacation for a family is all about seeing as many popular spots as possible | Indian youth needs much more than sight-seeing and Global Education travel in itself is a teacher imparting a lot of valuable hands on experience |
| Families on vacation travel as Tourists | Education Travel students travel as young, independent explorers |
| Cultural exposure during a vacation for a family is unplanned and optional | A planned exposure to gaping cultural differences during student Educational Travel becomes a huge learning experience |
| Family vacations packages remain limited as an International travel experience | Educational Travel experiences expand into a Global exposure. |
| At Family vacation getaways, more people travel to more places at lesser cost | Number of places visited during Youth Travel programs may be less, but the exposure is in-depth. |
| Families traveling together in Familyvacations generally do not get closer to the natives and they come back with few new contacts | You come back from an International Youth Travel tour with many new friends and expand your social network greatly. |
| You return from even the best family vacations ever only with fond memories of family | The experience of a Student Youth Travel widens your horizons and gives you practically productive memories |

Edu-Travel
Travel is an education in itself and when it is planned to go beyond a pleasure trip, it becomes all the more so. It is really hard to fathom the tremendous value of the changes Educational Travel for students brings among the youngsters – building confidence, self-reliance, adaptability and cultural awakening.
At a younger level – 13 – 18 years of age, Educational Travels are mainly encouraged by teachers for enhancing their cultural awareness. Educational Travel Tours are not only superior to standard teaching methods but also much more productive compared to Computer-based learning too.
An Educational Travel Group may be defined as: A Group of Students and Guides which takes up a journey, the individuals in the Educational Travel Groups may not be related in any way (classmates or friends), moving out of their residential area with a plan to be followed by all. The Educational Travel Groups are generally headed by one or more teachers or leaders who contribute to improve their learning experience.
