Travel Trends - Voluntaree Travel

A growing phenomenon in travel nowadays is short term volunteer travel vacations, also known as “voluntourism.” It’s to travel someplace, usually in the developing countries, and serve as a volunteer or add on a volunteer element to your vacation. In general travel has many purposes to de-stress, to explore, to learn and to experience something new, but in the recent years more and more people chose to make their holidays more meaningful by volunteering for some social service as destination. Volunteerism is generally considered as altruistic activity with the aim of donating time and energy for the benefit of other people in the community as a social responsibility rather than financial gain.
