ʻOiai ʻo ka poʻe hoʻohewa o ka mea i kapa ʻia ʻo "poverty tourism" e ʻōlelo ana he mea hoʻohana ia i nā kānaka, e hoʻohuli ana i nā kaiāulu i zoo, ʻo nā mea hoʻonohonoho o nā huakaʻi e hoʻopaʻapaʻa e hiki iā ia ke hoʻāla i ka ʻike e pili ana i ka ʻilihune, hakakā i nā stereotypes, a lawe i ke kālā i nā wahi i pōmaikaʻi ʻole mai ka mākaʻikaʻi. .

"He kanalimakumamālima pakeneka o ka poʻe ma Mumbai e noho ana i nā wahi ʻino," wahi a Chris Way, nona ka Reality Tours and Travel e holo mākaʻikaʻi ana i ka moku ʻo Dharavi o ke kūlanakauhale, kekahi o nā slums nui loa o India. "Ma o nā huakaʻi e hui ai ʻoe a ʻike ʻoe ua like kēia poʻe me mākou."

ʻAʻole lawa nā manaʻo maikaʻi i nā manawa a pau, a pono e hoʻokokoke kēia mau huakaʻi me ka noʻonoʻo. Eia nā nīnau āu e nīnau ai i kahi mea hoʻohana.

1. He pilina anei ka mea hoʻonohonoho huakaʻi i ke kaiāulu?

E ʻike i ka lōʻihi o ka holo ʻana o ka mea hoʻokele i nā huakaʻi ma ia wahi a inā paha kāu alakaʻi mai laila mai - ʻo kēia mau mea e hoʻoholo pinepine ai i ke kiʻekiʻe o ka launa pū ʻana me nā kamaʻāina. Pono ʻoe e nīnau i ka nui o nā mea i loaʻa i ke kaiāulu. Hāʻawi kekahi mau hui e like me ka 80 pakeneka o kā lākou loaʻa kālā, a hāʻawi kekahi i ka liʻiliʻi. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Krista Larson, kahi mākaʻikaʻi ʻAmelika i kipa aku i ke kaona ʻo Soweto ma waho o Johannesburg, ʻApelika Hema, ua koho ʻo ia iā Imbizo Tours no ka mea e holo ʻia ana e nā poʻe e noho ana ma Soweto a hāʻawi ʻo ia i nā makana i nā hana aloha kūloko. Hiki iā ʻoe ke noiʻi i nā hui ma ke kamaʻilio ʻana me nā huakaʻi ʻē aʻe, ma kou hōkele a i ʻole ma ka pūnaewele, e pili ana i ka mālama ʻia ʻana o kā lākou huakaʻi. Huli i nā blog a i ʻole e kau i kekahi nīnau ma kahi hui huakaʻi—bootsnall.com a me travelblog.org nā koho maikaʻi.

2. He aha kaʻu e manaʻo ai e ʻike?

Loaʻa paha iā ʻoe kahi manaʻo noʻonoʻo e pili ana i ke ʻano o ka ʻilihune loa, akā ke hoʻopuni ʻia ʻoe e ia - ʻaʻole wale nā hiʻohiʻona, akā ʻo nā leo a me nā ʻala hoʻi - hiki ke paʻakikī loa. E nīnau i kāu alakaʻi i ka mea i hoʻokūhoihoi i ka poʻe ma mua, no laila hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻomākaukau pono iā ʻoe iho. "E manaʻo e lele ma luna o nā laina ʻōpala a me nā puʻu ʻōpala, a e ʻike i nā kula piha, me nā keiki ʻoi aku ma mua o 50 i kēlā me kēia lumi," wahi a James Asudi o Victoria Safaris, ka mea e alakaʻi i nā mākaʻikaʻi o Kibera slum ma Nairobi, Kenya. Pīhoihoi pinepine ka poʻe i ka ʻike ʻana i kahi kaiāulu e hana ana ʻoiai kona mau pilikia, wahi a Marcelo Armstrong, ka mea nāna e hoʻokele Favela Tour ma Rio de Janeiro, Brazil: "ʻAʻole lākou e manaʻo e ʻike lākou i ka nui o ke kālepa a me ka vibrancy."

3. E ʻoluʻolu anei au?

ʻAʻole lawe nā mea hoʻohana kuleana i nā poʻe i nā kaiāulu kahi i makemake ʻole ʻia. "ʻO koʻu hopohopo mua ka loaʻa ʻana o ka ʻae ʻia e nā kamaʻāina," wahi a Armstrong. "ʻOliʻoli loa ka poʻe no ka manawa kūpono e hoʻololi i nā stigmas e pili ana i nā favelas. Hauʻoli lākou no ka hoihoi ʻana o kekahi i kēia wahi liʻiliʻi i poina ʻia e ka hui ʻo Brazil. ʻO Larson, ka mea mākaʻikaʻi ʻAmelika, ua loaʻa pū kekahi pane maikaʻi mai nā kamaʻāina ma kāna huakaʻi ʻo Soweto. "Ua hauʻoli ka poʻe a mākou i hālāwai ai i ka loaʻa ʻana o ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi ma laila," wahi āna.

4. E palekana anei au?

ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo o ka laha ʻana o ka hewa ma nā wahi moe he nui, ʻaʻole ia he manaʻo e lilo ʻoe i mea pōʻino. He mea kōkua maoli nō ʻoe i loko o kahi hui, a pono ʻoe e mālama i nā ʻano ʻano mālama like āu e hana ai ma nā wahi ʻē aʻe, e like me ka mālama ʻana i kāu waiwai kokoke iā ʻoe a ʻaʻole e komo i nā lole makamae a i nā mea nani. ʻAʻole hoʻohana ka nui o nā hui huakaʻi i nā kiaʻi palekana, me ka ʻōlelo ʻana he palekana nā wahi a lākou e kipa aku ai. Hoʻolimalima ʻo Victoria Safaris i nā mākaʻi ʻaʻahu ʻaʻahu maʻamau e hahai i nā mākaʻikaʻi ma Kibera ma kahi lōʻihi-ma ke ʻano he mea pale hewa, akā no ka hana ʻana i nā hana. Ma nā favelas o Rio, mālama nui ʻia ka palekana e nā mea kūʻai lāʻau lapaʻau nāna e hoʻomalu i nā kaiāulu. "ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo ʻo nā mea kūʻai lāʻau lapaʻau e hana i ka maluhia," wahi a Armstrong. "ʻAʻole he ʻaihue ka maluhia, a ua mahalo nui ʻia kēlā kānāwai."

5. Hiki iaʻu ke launa pū me nā kamaʻāina?

ʻO ke ala maikaʻi loa e pale aku ai i ka ʻike me he mea lā aia ʻoe ma kahi zoo e kamaʻilio me nā kānaka a hoʻāʻo e hana i kahi pilina pilikino. Nui nā mākaʻikaʻi e lawe iā ʻoe i nā kikowaena kaiāulu a me nā kula, a ʻo kekahi me nā kipa ʻana i kahi hale pule a i ʻole kahi pā. No ka poʻe makemake e hoʻolulu iā lākou iho i ke kaiāulu Kibera, e hoʻonohonoho ʻo Victoria Safaris i kahi noho pō. ʻO Vineyard Ministries, he hui Kalikiano ma Mazatlán, Mekiko, e holo kaʻahele manuahi kahi e lawe mai ai ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi i nā sandwiches i ka poʻe e ʻohi ana ma kahi hoʻolei ʻōpala kūloko.

6. Pono au e lawe i kaʻu mau keiki?

Hiki i ka huakaʻi ʻilihune ke lilo i ʻike hoʻonaʻauao no nā keiki-inā ua mākaukau lākou no ka mea a lākou e hālāwai ai. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Jenny Housdon, ka mea nāna e hoʻokele i ka Nomvuyo's Tours ma Cape Town, ʻApelika Hema, ʻo ka hapa nui o nā keiki e hoʻololi maikaʻi i ka puni a pāʻani pū me nā keiki kūloko, ʻoiai ke kaʻe o ka ʻōlelo. "Hiki i kekahi o nā keiki kūloko ke ʻōlelo iki i ka ʻōlelo Pelekania a makemake lākou e hoʻomaʻamaʻa," wahi a Housdon.

7. Hiki iaʻu ke kiʻi i nā kiʻi?

Nui nā huakaʻi e pāpā ana i ke kiʻi ʻana e hōʻemi i ke komo ʻana i loko o ke ola o nā kamaʻāina. Inā loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi lole e ʻae i nā kiʻi, e noi mua i ka ʻae ʻana i nā kānaka. A noʻonoʻo e pili ana i ke kūʻai ʻana i kahi pahupaʻi kiʻi ma mua o ka lawe ʻana mai i kahi pahupaʻi uila $1,000 me kahi lens ʻeono iniha.

8. Aia kekahi mau mea pono ole ia'u ke hana?

ʻAʻole pāpā ʻia ka hāʻawi ʻana, inā he kālā, nā mea ʻono, a i ʻole nā mea ʻono, no ka mea, hana lākou i ka haunaele a hoʻokumu koke i ka manaʻo e like nā makana o nā mākaʻikaʻi. Pono ʻoe e mahalo i ka pilikino o nā kānaka, ʻo ia hoʻi, ʻaʻole e nānā ma nā puka makani a i ʻole nā puka.

9. Pehea e hiki ai iaʻu ke kōkua i ka poʻe aʻu e hālāwai ai?

Hāʻawi pinepine ʻia ka hāʻawi ʻana i nā lole, nā mea pāʻani, nā puke, a me nā mea hale ʻē aʻe ma mua o ka huakaʻi, no laila ʻaʻole pono ʻoe e hopohopo no ka lawe ʻana a hāʻawi ʻana paha. E paʻa ana kekahi mau hui i nā mea āu e lawe mai ai a hiki i ka wā e hiki ai iā ʻoe ke hāʻawi pono iā lākou i ke kula a i ʻole hui kaiaulu āu e koho ai.

10. Pono au e hele me kahi hui huakaʻi?

Makemake paha ka poʻe huakaʻi makemake ʻole i nā huakaʻi i hoʻonohonoho ʻia i kēia hihia. Inā hele ʻoe iā ʻoe iho, ʻaʻole wale ʻoe e hōʻemi i ka palekana, akā paʻakikī paha ʻoe i ka hoʻokele ʻana ma nā wahi i mākaʻikaʻi ʻole ʻia. A poina ʻoe i ke aʻo ʻana e pili ana i ke ola o kēlā me kēia lā inā ʻaʻole ʻoe me kahi alakaʻi ʻike—ʻoiai ʻo ka hapa nui o nā puke alakaʻi e hana me he mea lā ʻaʻole kēia mau kaiāulu.
