Abstract
This chapter examines the characteristics and motivations of TEFL tourists, i.e. tourists that travel to teach English as a foreign language. The chapter is based on a case study in Thailand, with considerable potential for generalization in other areas. A typology of TEFL tourists in Thailand is presented, which includes the following categories: the leisure-minded tourist, the philanthropy-minded tourist, the expatriate-minded tourist, and the career-minded tourist.
