Panelists Louis Cole, Penny Lawrence, Matt Lacey and Dr Philip Goodwin discuss "Voluntourism", the term given to the growing trend of volunteer work by tourists in developing countries.
For many, the benefits of voluntourism have been skewed in favour of ‘life changing experiences’ for wealthy individuals at the expense of vulnerable communities.
The panelists assess the overall ramifications of a global industry reportedly worth £130 million.
