This timely and topical book offers a concise and targeted exploration of the ethical dimensions inherent to volunteering in tourism. Interdisciplinary in scope, this volume delves into the nuanced interplay of factors such as the climate emergency, the phenomenon of flight shaming, and the pervasive influence of social media.

The book aims to explore the complex relationship between volunteer tourism ethics, relevant social movement frames, and their integration into a new narrative for the volunteer tourist industry. This is especially relevant given the current challenges posed by the climate emergency, flight shaming, and the influence of travel influencers. By addressing these dynamics, the book provides insights into how the climate emergency narrative can shape future tourism practices.

Written in an authoritative but accessible and readable way, this volume offers an incisive and compelling exploration of volunteer tourism. International in both scope and appeal, it is an essential resource for students, scholars, and academics across tourism and mobility studies, international studies, development economics, politics, sociology, and niche tourism fields. It also provides valuable perspectives for volunteer tourism practitioners seeking to navigate the complexities of ethics, globalisation, and transformative travel.
