Abstract
The present paper proposes an alternative approach to explore the growing interest and the personal benefit for people who oftentimes pay significant amounts of money to work in physically and mentally challenging volunteering projects. By means of qualitative interviews and a review of mass culture representations that are interpreted through the lens of Eudaimonia as philosophy of human flourishing we offer explanations that account for the rising interest in volunteer tourism and the personal benefits of the volunteer tourists.
