【推荐2】The Negative Impacts of Volunteer Tourism
Volunteer tourism, or voluntourism, is an increasingly popular form of altruistic travel. Its appeal lies in being an experience that allows visitors to feel good by being a part of some kind of meaningful change. But despite good intentions from participants, volunteering abroad has been the target of heavy criticism over the past few years.
Voluntourists only have a limited amount of time, and the ability to change the systems and provide support for the places they visit. Being volunteers, they also simply don’t have the skills to do so. And they can sometimes inadvertently perpetuate unhelpful and even patronizing(自视高人一等的)ideas about the places they visit. A number of studies have shown that volunteer tourism can have negative impacts,

But they should take the time to learn about the socio-cultural backgrounds of the places they visit. Short-term placements thus become more about experiences and
This kind of cross-cultural engagement can do a lot of good in a world that is increasingly leaning towards violence and xenophobia.
