Theme : Tourism
Broad Topic : Educational Tourism
Narrow Topic : The Importance of Educational Trips for Lifelong Learning Process

In today's globalization era, education has become a vital element that everyone should
learn because education is a continuous process that everyone should complete the journey
without giving up
...
Education tourism is one of the most moving forward areas in
tourism all around the world
...
Educational tourism focuses more
on students that participate in tour activities during school holidays as this is time when students
and teachers are having their leisure time
...
Based on Brent Ritchie (2009), a tourist activity is undertaken by individuals that
participates in overnight vacation and those who are undertaking a short trip for whom
education and learning is a primary or secondary part of their trip
...
"Episodic memories" is the collection of past memories that allows an
individual to remember the information or memories for longer period of time
...
He added that Texila American
University are expanding their operations in Guyana and they are also discussing with other
universities to set up more campuses at there
...

First and foremost, the importance of educational trips is giving students the chance to
build closer bonds among themselves
...
This is
because most outdoor activities involves teamwork and without teamwork, the students are
unable to finish the task given to them
...
Educational trips allow students to spend
more time when they are being divided into smaller groups or pairs that could get two individual
closer than in classroom environment
...
Activity such as treasure hunt is one
of the most famous games that are being conducted in educational trips
...
The cause of this is teamwork
...

Clues that are being placed in the game always require students to brainstorm, think and work
together
...
Even if the students learn a lot or something from the trip, the memories are always
remembered by them
...

Besides that, the second importance of educational trips is students obtain new learning
styles
...
Sometimes, students are good at learning through visual but others learn through
listening in the classroom
...
During educational trips,
students will have the chance to perceive many interesting things that are not present in the
classroom
...
Moreover, educational trips that conducts hand-on teaching in places like
museum or science center
...
This will definitely allow
students to get excited in learning because they are obtaining the information from someone
that is new to the them
...
They rather to learn
new skills than being given instruction by teachers in the classroom
...


Furthermore, the third importance of educational trips is that students are allowed to
experience the real world
...
By doing so, there will be variety of lesson
plans and this will benefits the students in enhancing their reading, writing and listening skills
...
According to Cooper (1996), environment
has an intrinsic value which outweighs its value as a tourism as whole and its long-term survival
must not be prejudiced by short-term considerations
...
In addition, educational trips also
involves natural environment and social settings around the students
...
This
includes the visit to the " Orang Asli's " house
...
On this occasion, the students uses their
skills and critical thinking abilities in helping them to understand the surrounding situation
...

In conclusion, education can be provided to students even without the educational trips
being organized
...
Teachers should always check the attendance of the students whenever they stop
for visiting places or eating food
...
According to Copper (1996), new
tendencies in tourism industry are favoring diversifications of tourist production accordance with
philosophy of “NEW TOURISM”, where the leisure time is a precarious resource
