Description

This critical examination of volunteer tourism in the Global South investigates how governmental rationalities and socio-economic conditions have elevated volunteering abroad into a celebrated cultural practice. Drawing on theoretical research alongside primary data collected during volunteering programmes in Guatemala and Ghana, the author challenges conventional narratives about volunteer tourism. The work questions whether these initiatives genuinely catalyse social change, foster authentic cross-cultural encounters, or deliver the professional expertise promised in promotional materials and academic literature. Essential reading for those seeking to understand the complexities, contradictions, and realities behind the volunteer tourism industry, this book offers a nuanced perspective on a phenomenon that continues to shape global development and tourism practices.

Key Features

This Routledge volume examines volunteer tourism through the lens of neoliberal governance and socio-economic structures shaping the Global South.

Primary research data from volunteering programmes in Guatemala and Ghana grounds the theoretical analysis in real-world volunteer experiences.

The book interrogates popular assumptions about volunteer tourism's capacity to deliver social change and meaningful cross-cultural engagement.

Part of the Interventions series, this work contributes critical scholarship to tourism studies, development discourse, and cultural analysis.

Used book in good condition, offering an affordable way to access this important academic critique of volunteer tourism practices.
