Is VolunTourism just a passing fad or is it sustainable?
This is more appropriately answered on an individual basis. For some, this will be a one-time, “fad” experience. An individual may need service hours to graduate, pad a resume, etc. For others, this will become the quintessential method of travel for the rest of their lives. They may begin by conducting charitable aid projects; but in time, they will seek out only those opportunities that afford them a chance to render service based upon sustainable practices. How many fall into each category remains to be seen.
