CONVERSATIONS WITH CONSERVATIONISTS
(2020) SMMM20 20201Department of Service Studies
- Abstract
- This study aims to contribute towards the existing literature of volunteer tourism by evaluating the impacts that volunteering has on career progression. There exists a plethora of research on volunteer tourism, focusing on the various motivations to volunteer and the diverse positive and negative impacts that volunteering has on host communities. However, there is less research on the impact it has on volunteer's career development postvolunteering. In order to explore this further, this thesis employs the Serious Leisure
Perspective, and in particular, the concept of Fulfilment Career to examine the role of volunteering on career development.
