13."Voluntourism",also known as"volunteer tourism",combines traditional travel elements-arts,culture,geography,history and recreation-with voluntary services.It's a global phenomenon and is becoming a popular vacation option for youths,especially college students.It inspires young people's spirit of adventure while meeting their desire to make a difference by working and living in communities in developing nations or protected natural areas where fewer general tourists visit.For example,a project called Conscious Journeys,combining sightseeing with voluntary work such as cooking for orphans,teaching environmental protection knowledge in Tibet; another project,Globe Aware,includes both voluntary activities (helping a rural Samba school in Brazil or planting trees in India) and tourism activities (discovering temple ruins and learning Thai cooking in Thailand).The volunteer trips are also related to scientific researcher,cultural conservation,and medical assistance.Scientists,doctors,nurses,teachers,labors,and businessmen sign on for voluntourism programs to share their skills and knowledge with others.They want to help others in foreign lands.In return,they experience unique cultures first hand,develop new friendships and achieve personal value.
