Turkey's "Bring Me Something" site on the launch of the "one-stop" service

Many tourists want to spend as little money and as many things as they can when they are free. For example, not only have someone come to the airport to provide shuttle service, but also can be accompanied by a tour, if you can participate in local gatherings, experience a more beautiful exotic, it would be better.

Less money and more work, sound has been very greedy, then do not spend money also is idiot dream? Turkey's "Bring Me Something" site on the launch of such a "one-stop" service project. The site is a platform to help inbound travellers exchange goods with local residents. Website has two options if you are a traveler, you can fill in where you are going to travel, the date of your trip, but the most important thing is to specify the things you would like to carry with you, to exchange a service with the locals, such as airport transfers, party invitations, city tours, and of course, exchange of goods or cash, Or just to get in touch with the locals.

In fact, this kind of barter service is not a way of innovation. When Zheng He went to the West, the treasure ship was loaded with porcelain, silk, tea, lacquer ware, metal products, copper coins and other Chinese goods, in exchange for jewelry, spices, medicinal herbs, exotic animals and other rare things. But in the age of the Internet, the old way of exchange has found new opportunities for development. For example, you plan to travel from Beijing to Tokyo for three days and nights, hoping someone in the area can offer you a place to stay or a tour guide, and in return you will give him a Chinese-style gift. If you are a local, you can also register on the site what you want from other places, and what you can offer.

As the saying goes: things are rare. This "expensive" not only refers to the price, more important is "not easy." In recent years, when I went abroad to interview or travel, I would do the same thing, that is to consider what gifts from a foreign country to give friends and relatives. Although Internet E-commerce has expanded the boundaries of shopping, it seems that goods can be bought all over the world, but in fact, there are a considerable number of local characteristics of goods will not be online. It was a disappointment to those who wanted gifts from exotic cultures, and it kept my baggage at full brim every time. Since foreign goods are a rarity for travellers, there is no doubt that what travellers have is rare for the inhabitants of those countries of destination. So instead of spending money on local purchases when you go abroad, why not take your local native products and the rare gadgets of Chinese-rich foreigners to exchange goods and services in the country of destination?

What's the value of the website? Those friends who often travel abroad think that, on the one hand, this service platform can exchange the surplus resources of tourists for the exotic products and services they need, and save money in the journey, on the other hand, it is a kind of overseas purchase which can save the International freight transportation, which saves money and low carbon, Overseas purchasing through the travel itinerary with tourists combined to reduce the use of express, so as to reduce carbon dioxide emissions contribute. So good, why not?
