Why Adventure Companies Fail with Voluntourism

Having been a part of the volunteer and adventure travel industries for awhile now one thing seems quite apparent to me, most adventure companies that try to sell voluntourism flat out fail (Intrepid is the latest example). But why?

If you plan on making it to the Travel Blog Exchange next weekend, come out to a meetup on Saturday at Wicker Park Fest.

I'm just sending you a note to invite you to a little meetup I'm organizing at noon on Sat., July 25.

We'll eat some delicious food, soak up the rays and listen to the bands for some general chilling out before the conference.

Please RSVP on Facebook

http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/event.php?eid=106438472257

If you can't make it, please introduce yourself to me at the conference on Sunday!

Last November I led a group of six photographers in and around the city of Granada, Nicaragua. I spent the following three months researching areas of the country I had not yet been. All-in-all I've spent about nine months in Nicaragua since 2003. I can't say enough great things about the country and the people. :) Lot's of voluntourism down there.

At 9:27pm on January 19, 2009, Kim Mance, Founder of TBEX said…: Really glad you've joined TBEX. You're a great person to interview for an article I'm working on about voluntourism...will send you a message tomorrow.
