{"title":"Volunteer tourism","authors":"Gregory Willson, Alison J. McIntosh","doi":"10.4324/9780429201011-20","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4324/9780429201011-20","url":null,"abstract":"Despite growing criticism, volunteer tourism continues to be a top travel trend worldwide hence the vast attention from scholars in determining reasons and motivations to engage in the phenomenon. Previous research shows that the direction of movement predominantly is from the Global North to the Global South, where affluent young adults travel to ‘do good’, explore new cultures and advance professionally. There is a gap in research focusing on the opposite direction i.e. North to South volunteer tourism. This research aims to provide knowledge to partly fill the gap by exploring why international youth engage in volunteer tourism in Denmark through a cultural exchange programme with emphasis on motivation, self-development, and cultural understanding. To understand why international youth engage in volunteer tourism in a Global North setting, the theoretical chapter explores themes and criticisms in volunteer tourism, travel and volunteer motivations as well as highlighting case studies exploring volunteer tourism motivations in the North to South direction. Moreover, cultural understanding and self-development through participation in volunteer tourism are discussed. The research utilised an exploratory research design where nine qualitative semi-structured interviews were conducted for data collection. Respondents were found through the cultural youth exchange organisation, ICYE Denmark that merely provided the framework for the research. The research found nine themes affecting young internationals’ decision to engage in volunteer tourism in Denmark. These were self-development, finding new friends, cultural outcome, altruism, fun, macro social factors and accessibility, international volunteer tourism through an organisation, Denmark as a destination, and past travel and volunteer experience. The nine themes were divided into two categories, being internal and external factors, which related in a dynamic relationship. All respondents were affected by multiple themes, simultaneously arguing their interrelation. Independence and self-confidence rose in international youth during a volunteer tourism programme as well as becoming more aware of cultural differences leading to acceptance of others. The selfdevelopment and cultural awareness were argued to be traits included in the concept of the international citizen. The findings contribute to a raised awareness of volunteer tourism in the Global North by zooming in on the individual’s reasoning for participation in volunteer tourism facilitated by a cultural exchange organisation.","PeriodicalId":149637,"journal":{"name":"The Routledge Handbook of Religious and Spiritual Tourism","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125390087","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
