As the word implies, voluntourism combines vacation travel with volunteering at the destination visited. Search the Web and you’ll find dozens of organizations – both nonprofits and travel businesses – deeply involved in organizing volunteering vacations.
Pros:When it’s well-organized and thoughtfully planned, the traveler can indeed use vacation time to great advantage, helping the host country.
Cons:How are the volunteering opportunities chosen? Are these real needs and can volunteers truly do something useful in as little as a week?
