Philanthropic Travel is NOT Voluntourism

PHILANTHROPIC TRAVEL IS NOT VOLUNTOURISM 

“Philanthropic Travel is a fund raising learning experiencebetween a traveler/donor and a host/beneficiary which culminates in a 100% transparent monetary donation (NOT a gift in kind: ie. a pre-purchased ‘Book Box’) to the visited NGO/501c3:A Vacation in Generosity. 

Recent articles in Smart Money Magazine,  Wall Street Journal, Voluntourism in Depth: Hip or Hype?,  World Hum: A Tourist With a Shovel and a Hoe and Canada’s National Post clearly define the profound differences between Voluntourism and Philanthropic Travel. 

Voluntourism is a service experience that donates a traveler’s labor and time.” -David Chamberlain, Founder: Exquisite Safaris Philanthropic Travel
