Running head: CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY Corporate Social Responsibility Name Institution 1 CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY 2 Corporate Social Responsibility Introductory Section Artisans of Leisure classifies as the top privately-held and female-managed comfort tourism firm, which focuses on elite and custom-made personal excursions internationally. Particularly, this company operates in over 70 states globally, comprising Japan, New Zealand, China, India, and Australia, among others. Additionally, the firm also possesses the distinctive capacity to combine both private and cultured undertakings in all sites. Further, Artisans of Leisure also organizes exceptional recreational expeditions, such as art and design, history, food and wine, health resort, and functional expedition outings, as well as household tours and honeymoons. Largely, these trips are generated for perceptive tourists who anticipate the utmost attention, comfort, and facility levels (Artisans of Leisure, Inc., 2020). Moreover, the key rivals of Artisans of Leisure include Avenue Two Travel, Europe Charm, Zicasso and Italy Customized tours. For its mission, the company is dedicated towards forming the definitive tour encounter that is tailor-made to the specific prospects and desires of their customers. Besides, they are also devoted towards giving an incomparable facility level and endpoint familiarity, conveyed with maximum precision. Ultimately, the company trusts fervently in the prominence and sovereignty of tourism as a technique of studying about the universe, reinforcing transnational comprehension and markets, safeguarding native ethnicities, and making personal improvements (Artisans of Leisure, Inc. 2021). Second Section Essentially, Artisans of Leisure is prominent for integrating exclusive involvements into their trips, comprising humanitarian undertakings, personalized spending expeditions, and CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY 3 revolutionary endeavors, to mention but a few. More specifically, nearly all of their customers tend to convey the yearning to give back a hand to the regional neighborhoods that they stopover at during their trips, which constitutes most of the company’s social responsibility approach. In view of that the management can integrate diverse benevolent interests into these expeditions, varying from one hour to some days, which classify as prospects for extremely significant social and ethnic interchanges (Artisans of Leisure, Inc., 2021). Ideally, there exists numerous techniques of philanthropy, and the company functions intimately with every tourist and groups of exceptional concern to ascertain the most suitable responsibilities. Among others, the main tester benevolent pursuits constitute the endowment of water crafts, livestock, or other life-altering commodities to deprived households in isolated towns, visiting children's homes and shelters to network with needy kids, and showing up in class at regional faculties and contributing essential provisions. In this respect, the business functions directly with people, establishments and foundations to generate charitable events that are exceedingly specified and personalized (Artisans of Leisure, Inc., 2021). Third Section Here, the selected initiative is visiting the homes and shelters of destitute children to interact with them. Strengths To begin with this initiative offers the company a huge chance to transform the existences of youthful defenseless kids, who require to feel needed and valued. Furthermore, it also enables the organization to make an aggregate disparity in the society (Atieno, 2021). Weaknesses CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY 4 On the flip side, the key shortcoming of this initiative is that many homes are using the orphans as objects of making money. Additionally, some families also send their children to such shelters without being orphans, in the hope for a better future (Yu, 2021). Benefits First, this type of tourism provides better living conditions to the children, in terms of quality formal education, nutrition, and shelter. Besides, the interaction with foreigners also provides an opportunity for the kids to acquire extra life skills and confidence (Atieno, 2021). Concerns Unfortunately, several volunteer businesses merely indulge in philanthropic work to generate income. Likewise, some of the tourists under the company could end up failing to finalize on the charitable projects that they began due to time or geographical constraints (Atieno, 2021). Keys to success In order to succeed in this initiative, Artisans of Leisure is supposed to establish the main aims of the benevolent ventures of its clients. Similarly, the organization also ought to confirm the time frames of the philanthropic tourists in the host countries. Fourth Section From a personal perspective, I believe that the initiative is tactically affiliated with the mission and corporate ideals of the organization. In essence, this is because one of their visions is to produce the definitive travel encounter that is custom-made to the personal anticipations and desires of their customers. In this context, most of the social responsibilities of the company CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY 5 derives from the benevolent endeavors that their clients practice in different nations. For instance, Alsever (2007) asserts that appeals from affluent tourists for such humanitarian tours have risen with around 15% in the last two years, at Artisans of Leisure. If I were managing the company, the only thing that I would have effectuated in a different way is the management of such an initiative discussed above. Among others, this could comprise preparing sustenance curriculums that offer public amenities to susceptible kids and their relatives, which enables children and their families to become reunited. Further, I would also guarantee that the philanthropic clients do not make contributions to homes or shelters that abuse the orphans, especially with regard to financial exploitations. Finally, I would also launch probes on the channels that the given donations are expected to follow (Yu, 2021). CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY 6 References Alsever, J.
