Is VolunTourism a “volunteer vacation?”
The short answer is No. VolunTourism actually encompasses the term “volunteer vacation” but is not limited to it. Volunteer vacations are simply an example of one type of VolunTourism. VolunTourism comes in multiple forms for both the leisure and the business travel markets. For example, a corporation may hold an annual meeting in a destination and determine that they would like to engage in a voluntary service project for a half-day or full-day prior to the start of the meeting. This would also fall under the category of VolunTourism in its broadest sense.
