Gönüllü turizm: Yeni eko turizm?

Turizmin daha yeni biçimlerinden biri olan ve giderek daha bilinir hale gelen gönüllü turizmi kişilerin bir tür çalışma seyahatine çıkması kendi işgücü veya emeklerini kayda değer nedenler için gönüllü olarak harcama işidir. Gönüllü turizm yeni bir turizm alanıdır ve kısa süre içersinde gözle görülebilir gelişmeler kaydetmiştir. Bu makalede gönüllü turizmin gelişim süreci ve küçük çabalardan geleneksel turizme geçişten sözedilmektedir. Ayrıca gönüllü turizm adına açılan sitelerin sayılarının artışı bu sitelerin içerik ve odak noktalarındaki değişiklikler son 20 yıl içerisinde gönüllü turizm destinasyonu olarak kullanılan merkezler ve temsil ettikleri organizasyonlar tartışılmıştır. Geçen son 20 yılda gönüllü turizmi sunan organizasyonların dikkatlerini eko turizme benzer olarak gelişen diğer turizm türlerine verdiği açıktır. Bu makale; gönüllü turizmin gelecekte ölçek dağıtım şekli ve odak noktası olarak farklılaşacağını eko turizmde olduğu gibi pazar ve ilgi çekiciliğini arttıracağını fakat bu gerçekleşirken de gönüllü turizmin kendine özgü ayırt edici özelliklerini kaybedeceği sonucuna varmıştır.
