In recently years, travel becomes a hot topic among young people. However, they are busy at their work or studies, with limited money and time, it is difficult for them to feel and enjoy different cultures and experiences from different parts of the world. Therefore, Tourism and Event Management Year 3 students from Institute for Tourism Studies are going to hold a charity event named “Earth play for a day” at 27th November 2010, providing a platform for the participants to experience worldwide culture in a day and do charity at the same time. This platform is presented in the style of a country - Marveland, where people can experience and share different cultures as well as treasure and respect each of them. A series of activities such as games, exhibition, shows and photography competition related with the theme of world travel are included which targeted at teenagers. All the profit generated from the event will be donated to Caritas Macau for child care purpose after deducting necessary expenses. Besides, one of the “Earth Play For A Day” series activities – Charity Souvenir Sales was successfully held in November.
