Voluntourism Equation as further support for Christchurch
For Immediate Release
Terrace Downs introduces the Voluntourism Equation as further support for Christchurch’s Renaissance
Canterbury – May 12 2011:
Although much has been done in the past few months
since that February day in Christchurch when the earth shook
and many lives changed dramatically, it is relatively just a
beginning.
Christchurch and its surrounds have been supported in many ways - from the process of rebuilding to basic support assistance. Among these supports was [3]Terrace Downs Resort in the Canterbury High Country, giving thanks that it emerged completely intact from the event, and is fully operational.
Terrace Downs has decided to expand their support by bringing voluntourism conferences and events to Canterbury – in an effort to attract new (and existing) corporate event related business in to the region.
This newly coined word combines the best of three aspects: A great conference or event at Terrace Downs; the stunning Canterbury High Country setting acting as a natural playground for thrill-seekers and those who enjoy more genteel pursuits; plus time aside to give some assistance to the area – sponsored by Terrace Downs by way of added bonus incentives for the group, for choosing the Christchurch region and the 2010 award-winning resort.
Could this be the ultimate equation for a winning synergy?
Conference or Event @ Terrace Downs Resort + Resort-sponsored incentive activity + Volunteer service ___ = Voluntourism Conference/Event
The incentive bonus could be complimentary archery or golf for the group, for example, while the volunteer aspect could be a half day community working bee activity (remember, Christchurch is just one hour from Terrace Downs), a charity event at Terrace Downs to which contacts and clients are invited, with perhaps an auction or raffle for a community charity; or even a half day of business assistance to help get a Christchurch business back on its feet.
Terrace Downs would love to brainstorm with you to come up with creative ideas for your tailor-made voluntourism conference or event.
