Tourism This research explains deeper on the concept of voluntourism and voluntourists motivation. Voluntourism is categorized as alternative tourism.

The result shows that motivations include push and pull factors whereby the voluntourists and the destination itself guide them to the motivation to participate in voluntourism. The finding on the financial motivation constructs the understanding of role of prices in attracting the voluntourists involvement.
