「克羅地亞金章級野外鍛鍊科挑戰之旅」圓滿結束

承蒙鄧慕蓮博士AYP國際交流活動基金資助、郭興坤陳麗華慈善基金有限公司、Eikowada、東保慈善基金有限公司及 INNOTIER贊助，歷時11天的「克羅地亞金章級野外鍛鍊科挑戰之旅」於4月4日順利完結。是次旅程是AYP事隔4年再次遠赴海外進行野外鍛鍊科評核旅程，22名金章級參加者於3月25日出發前往克羅地亞。首先，他們到訪了十六湖國家公園和南部城市扎達爾，適應當地的郊區環境並準備好裝備和糧食，為評核旅程做好準備；之後再從茨雷斯島展開四日三夜的評核旅程，即使途中經歷有如十號風球的烈風和崎嶇碎石路，仍然成功克服挑戰，完成旅程。

克羅地亞位於歐洲東南部的國家地形多樣，擁有豐富的地貌及自然景觀，非常適合進行遠足旅程。參加者從旅程中認識這個一帶一路國家如何在旅遊業吸引中國遊客及投資，並探討中克經濟合作情況，對當地社會及文化有進一步的了解。

With the support from Dr. Irene Tang AYP International Exchange Programme Fund, Kwok Hing Kwan Chan Lai Wah Charitable Foundation Limited, Eikowada, Tunbow Charity Foundation Limited and INNOTIER, the Gold Level Croatia Adventurous Journey Training Course was held successfully on 4 April. It has been four years since we held an oversea Adventurous Journey Training Course. On 25 March, 22 Gold Level participants departed for Croatia. Firstly, they visited the Plitvice Lakes National Park and Zadar, acclimating to the weather of Croatia’s countryside and preparing for the assessment. Then, they embarked on a four-day, three-night assessment from the island of Cres. Despite facing challenges such as strong winds and rugged gravel roads, they overcame these obstacles and completed the journey successfully.

Croatia, located in southeastern Europe, boasts diverse topography and natural landscapes, making it an ideal destination for hiking trips. Through this journey, participants gained insights into how this Belt and Road Initiative country attracts Chinese tourists and investments in the tourism industry. They also explored the economic cooperation between China and Croatia, deepening their understanding of the local society and culture.
