Abstract

Volunteer tourism has become one of the major public interest activities of college students with a lot of attributes, such as charity service, self-promotion, travel experience, green ecology, and education poverty alleviation and so on. Taking college students of Shenzhen as the research object, this paper uses interviews and content analysis methods to sum up the motivation, preferences and constraints to participate in volunteer tourism. The study found that college participations prefer diversified, experiential, social and unique volunteer tourism projects. The cost of money and time, safety insurance, communication and social identification are the most concentrated concerns of respondents. At last, the paper puts forward the development strategy of college students' volunteer tourism, which has a certain practical significance to promote the sustainable development of tourism.
