The VolunTourist™ Newsletter
In this issue of our quarterly newsletter, the first feature highlights a VolunTourism trip to Peru by Dr. Larry Beck and his thoughts related to the experience.
The second feature article is a response to a request I submitted to the folks at Travelocity to give readers a better understanding of why the online travel portal has embraced VolunTourism, suprisingly it started with a VolunTourism Honeymoon.
In this issue's Columns, So You May Know shares the story of two entrepreneurs and their quest to start a VolunTourism company that is "Not-For-Profit-Only." Wisdom & Insight offers some excerpts from a recent talk given by David Clemmons at the Gros Morne International Summit on Sustainable Tourism. This issue's 3Q's focus on response to natural disasters as we Revisit Relief VolunTourism. The Supply Chain delivers a view of Social Tours, Social Treks, and VolunTourism In Nepal, while VT-Lines asks: Is VolunTourism A Good Idea? And, Dr. Nancy McGehee connects with Tara Pazanski and Dr. Lori Pennington-Gray from the University of Flordia in reviewing their research on Voluntourism At Conventions. Read More>>>

Episode #61: The Mintel Report On Volunteer Tourism
Guests: Martine Bakker, Author, Mintel Report On Volunteer Tourism; Kristin Lamoureux, Researcher, Mintel Report On Volunteer Tourism; Jean-Marc Alberola, Interviewee, Mintel Report On Volunteer Tourism.
Discussion: My guests will join me to address the following questions: 1) What was the impetus for Mintel Corporation to create a report on Volunteer Tourism? 2) What are some of the highlights of the report and elements you feel are worth mentioning that were not included due to the initial scope of the project? 3) Based upon your findings and the results published in this report, what items would you envision studying in greater detail for a future report? Please join us for answers to these questions and more during this episode of The VolunTourist.
VolunTourism Defined:
A seamlessly integrated combination of voluntary service to a destination and the best, traditional elements of travel — arts, culture, geography, and history — in that destination.
