You can put together magical combinations which will attract special guests and earn you a reputation to be remembered.

 

Possible additions to your Peaceful World Center:

 

A Youth Hostel can be a place where volunteers from other cultures can stay while helping work on your companion project and learn local culture, skills and language.

A Restaurant is a great way to foster community. Some Centers may even want to be primarily a restaurant, serving organic foods, vegetarian dishes and local specialties.

A store can offer crafts from the area and even basic items which people from the local community might need. Books, quilts, geological or other indigenous artifacts, posters or pictures of local interest and many other items can connect your guests to the local culture as well as support the local communities.

Classes and exchanges about the Center's Project, meeting space for conferences, video screenings, lectures and parties.

A Library can feature books, videos, tapes and computers for use by guests and neighbors.

A health or retreat center is a wonderful way to encourage a place of wellness and bring people together
Tours and outings within the Center and in its environs will not only teach guests interesting and important things about the place that they are staying, but it will connect and inspire them to get more intimately involved with the local area and/or companion projects.

Exchanges Some travelers may be guest speakers, teachers or volunteers who can share their talents. Peaceful World Centers can exchange information and make connections with each other and with the worldwide public in order to actively create a sense of belonging to the larger Peaceful World Travel Community.

Gardens Some of us grow organic foods. Our gardens can become a nursery for others to grow produce and plant trees, and guests can be encouraged to lend a helping hand.

Promotion and publicity We work with travel guides, (electronic and print), and travel magazines, as well as fair trade, peace, environmental and social change organizations. We will connect with local businesses, travelers and other b&bs to encourage eco-travel and socially responsible tourism.
