Summary
The Best Education Happens on the Road.
The development of study tours is inseparable from the capacity of their destinations. In the era of integrated development of culture and tourism, the educational content of study tours is becoming increasingly segmented, and the "Study+" model is gradually becoming an important product choice for the development of study tours.
Family travel consumption demands are being unleashed, with family travel destinations becoming more diversified and focusing on quality and comfort. Family travel also places greater emphasis on participation and interactivity. Choosing programs such as study tours, parent-child activities, and outdoor adventures can make travel more meaningful. It is evident that the core of parent-child travel and study tours lies in education and experience, providing valuable experiences and content, while also focusing on emotional connections among members.
Study Tours+ Amusement Parks: Destinations for Themed Amusement Park Educational Travel
Case 1: Yuehu Jego· Pancoat Paradise
The research travel concept: Starting from the perspective of children, revolving around the theme of "entertainment, joy, food, travel, and education," we create multiple themed play spaces. The core themes of each space are derived from the combination of the Pancoat IP and the Jego IP's Toffy style, with differentiated selling points, and also take into account the preferences of today's children. Additionally, we integrate the concept of research travel science education to address the issue of low visitor flow from Monday to Friday, giving the park new life and vitality.
Case 2: Donghai Lumengmeng Jegoland
Research Travel Philosophy: Capitalizing on the Rich Natural and Cultural Resources of Wenquan Town, Crafting High-Quality Educational Travel Products, and Establishing a Unique Northern Jiangsu Research Travel Brand System. We are dedicated to developing a research travel practice base rich in resources, with a comprehensive curriculum system, distinctive activities, and robust safety measures, gradually achieving the co-construction and sharing of the Northern Jiangsu research travel market. Within the park, students can gain insights into the formation of crystals, marvel at unique geological features, and explore the finest natural crystals and crystal artworks from Donghai and across the globe.
Crystal Study Tours allow students to experience the historical and cultural heritage of "the World's Crystal Capital, China's Hot Spring Hometown, and an Ecologically Livable Blessed Land" in Donghai. These tours promote and carry forward the excellent traditional culture of China, allowing students to understand the principles of life and conduct through practical experiences. They encourage reflection on cultural inheritance and promotion, making the study tours distinctive and rewarding. Through practical exploration, students learn knowledge, broaden their horizons, and cultivate their wisdom and intelligence.
Key Points in Developing Amusement Park Educational Programs
Educational Practice Principles: Emphasize systematic, intellectual, scientific, and entertaining aspects. Study tours should be tailored to local conditions, showcasing regional characteristics. Safety Principle: Establish safety assurance mechanisms and clarify safety responsibilities; focus on systematic, intellectual, scientific, and entertaining aspects of study tours. Practical Principle: Study tours should be adapted to local conditions and highlight regional features.
Planning and Design Principles: To upgrade the park's facilities into a study base for youth and children, it is necessary to delve into local cultural characteristics and folk customs, or appropriately introduce ancient civilizations, traditional culture, history, astronomy, geography, science, and natural science education content.
Experience Principle: Deeply integrate the amusement park's entertainment projects with study projects, science education, animation venues, children's sports venues, VR high-tech products, laboratories, robots, drones, aerospace, and local characteristic cultures. Professional teachers execute courses that foster children's courage to explore, bravery to challenge, teamwork, altruistic contributions, communication skills, and civilized travel during the experience.
Construction Principle: In the construction of theme parks, use vivid color contrasts and leverage local cultural advantages to stimulate children's curiosity, guiding them to fully engage in play, while also promoting children's growth and development.
Integrating Innovation into Learning: Step beyond the traditional classroom and into a world where learning is liberated from constraints. We're talking about an educational experience that weaves together the rich tapestry of traditional culture, the critical awareness of environmental conservation, and the immersive lessons of nature. This is not just learning—it's an adventure where children are free to explore, to play, and to learn in unison.
