Description: This paper provides a critically informed framework for an International Volunteer Tourism and Social Development research agenda. This paper reviews the current academic literature on volunteer tourism and distils it into three key areas: volunteer tourist behaviour and experience, the impact of volunteer tourism upon host communities, and the development of volunteer tourism services and products. Based on this review, recommendations for a research program are made. This paper concludes by discussing the framework and principles that underpin and guide this research.
