Exploring the Labor Nature of China's B&B Volunteers at the Legal Level

Abstract

The volunteer-for-lodging travel model, which is dominated by B&B volunteers, has become popular among young people in recent years. This travel model can save on travel room and board costs and provide participants with the opportunity to travel at low cost or even for free. However, unlike traditional volunteer work, this "quasi-labor relationship" often leads to labor disputes. By summarizing the labor characteristics of B&B volunteers, we can define their unique labor nature, so that we can quickly clarify the rights and responsibilities of both parties when disputes arise between B&Bs and volunteers, and provide a basis for dispute resolution, and accordingly discover more effective ways to protect the rights and interests of B&B volunteers.
