dc.description.abstract	Volunteer tourism is a popular phenomenon among people from Western and developed countries who travel purportedly to ‘help’ people in presumed need, generally in the global South and developing countries. This research raises the question why people feel the need to help the Global South? Is it a striving for more equality in the world, is it a means to stress the differences between nations and peoples, is it a modern way of exercising power over others, or are there other reasons? Volunteers are just all individuals, unique people with their own background, beliefs and behaviour and they are not always aware of their attitude towards the activities or other people. With the use of qualitative research methods this thesis elaborates on the attitudes that can be ascribed to the behaviour and self-expressed experiences of Dutch voluntourists.	en_US
