Volunteers on hand to help visitors

A total of 890 volunteers, who have received training in language, reception etiquette, medical aid and other operations, will assist participants at the 2014 Tianjin Summer Davos Forum - also known as the Eighth Annual Meeting of the New Champions - that opens Wednesday.

According to the organization Tianjin Volunteer, since March, over 30,000 residents have applied to be volunteers through the organization's website, an increase of more than 10,000 people compared with the 2012 event. Most of the volunteers are students from local colleges.

To better serve guests from home and abroad, the volunteers have conducted a variety of activities to accumulate experience.
