Recently, a number of parents reported to Jimu News that they signed up for this summer's Arctic Youth Scientific Expedition and Research Group at a company called "Xinghua Cruises", but the research group did not start on time, and the fees paid were not refunded, and parents could not even contact the person in charge of the company. This incident has aroused social concern, and it has also made people think about the significance and value of youth science expeditions, as well as how to choose formal organizers and organizers.
It is understood that "Xinghua Cruises" is a tourism company focusing on luxury cruise tourism, and in recent years, it has also begun to set foot in the field of scientific investigation for teenagers. This summer, the company launched an Arctic Youth Science Expedition, which attracted the attention of many parents. Each parent needs to pay more than 100,000 yuan, promising that the children will participate in a month-long scientific expedition, including observing polar bears, glaciers, etc. However, when it was time to start the group, the parents received a notice from the company, saying that due to the weather, the group could not start on time and needed to be postponed to autumn. In the fall, the company said that it could not form a group due to the epidemic and needed to be postponed again. Parents were dissatisfied and asked for a refund, but the company kept delaying it. It wasn't until early November that parents discovered that another company, represented by the same legal representative of the company, had used an Antarctic scientific expedition to solicit students, which made them even more angry and confused.
This incident not only caused the parents to lose their property, but more importantly, they deprived their children of the opportunity to participate in scientific expeditions. For young people, scientific expeditions are a rare opportunity to learn Xi and experience, which can help them understand nature, increase their knowledge and exercise their abilities. However, this incident has disappointed the children's dreams and had a negative impact on their development. In addition, this incident has also reduced people's trust in youth science expeditions, which may affect the development of similar activities in the future.
When choosing a science expedition for teenagers, parents need to pay attention to the following:
Understand the qualifications and credibility of the organizer. When choosing a host, it is necessary to pay attention to whether it has relevant qualifications and licenses, such as tourism business licenses, outbound tourism business licenses, etc. At the same time, it is also necessary to understand its reputation, which can be learned by querying the corporate credit system, consulting other parents, or searching for online evaluations.
Confirm the identity and background of the organizer. When choosing a youth science expedition, you need to pay attention to who the organizer is. Generally speaking, formal scientific expeditions should be sponsored by scientific research institutions, educational institutions or non-governmental organizations. If the organizer is an unknown company or individual, you need to be extra careful.
Find out the specifics and schedule of the event. When choosing a youth science expedition activity, it is necessary to understand the specific content and arrangement of the activity, such as the location, time, and content of the activity. At the same time, it is also necessary to understand the safety and security measures and emergency plans of the event.
Sign the contract and keep the vouchers. When choosing a youth science expedition, it is necessary to sign a contract with the organizer and keep the voucher. The contract needs to clarify the specific content of the activity, the cost, the cancellation policy and other terms. If there is a dispute or problem, the contract will become an important basis for rights protection.
This incident is not only a case of tourism disputes, but also arouses people's thinking about scientific expeditions for teenagers. Youth science expeditions are a useful way to educate children about nature, increase their knowledge and exercise their abilities. However, when choosing an event, you need to pay attention to safety and formality to avoid similar incidents. At the same time, the relevant departments also need to strengthen supervision and regulate the market order and promote the healthy development of scientific investigation activities among young people. In short, this incident has brought us a lot of inspiration and food for thought, and I hope that we can learn lessons from it and better provide support and guarantee for the growth and development of young people.
