Seattle Green Festival
Presented by: Global Exchange and Green AmericaSaturday March 28th, 2009
Planeterra Director Richard Edwards presented at the
Seattle Green Festival on Saturday, March 28th. He discussed
The Tourist versus
The Traveler versus
The Voluntourist:
The fastest growing
group of adventure travelers is an impassioned breed, looking to be a
part of places in a way that doesn’t happen anywhere near a tour bus.
Volunteer tours, or ‘voluntours’, promote the idea of helping a
community in an under-served part of the world. Are you really helping?
Or should you just stay on the bus?
Another successful day put on by
greenfestival.
