responsible volunteering
Having the following characteristics, responsible tourism:
• minimises negative economic, environmental, and social impacts;
• generates greater economic benefits for local people
and enhances the well-being of host communities,
• involves local people in decisions that affect their lives and life chances;
• makes positive contributions to the conservation of natural and cultural heritage,
to the maintenance of the world's diversity;
• provides more enjoyable experiences for tourists through
more meaningful connections with local people,
and a greater understanding of local cultural, social and environmental issues;
• provides access for physically challenged people; and
• is culturally sensitive, engenders respect between tourists and hosts
and builds local pride and confidence.

how people and places design programmes
• Working with the projects, we formalise their needs into a
list of aims, with some suggested ways in which volunteers
may help to achieve them
• The plan is used to match and brief volunteers
appropriately – and inform the discussions with the project
• Volunteers get a copy of the plan so they can see how their
contribution fits into the bigger picture – they are also
available as downloads on our site
• The plan is reviewed and updated regularly informed by
project questionnaires and volunteer reports
responsible volunteering
Our goal
to enable volunteers
and
local communities
to achieve their goals
