Abstract

Yeni bir alternatif turizm türü olan gönüllü turizmi, gönüllü hizmet temeline dayanmaktadır. Gönüllü turizminin odak noktasını, turistlerin bir destinasyonda turizm aktivitelerine katılmalarının yanı sıra, bölgenin ve bölgedeki yerel halkın kalkınmasını sağlayan faaliyetlere katılmaları oluşturmaktadır. Gönüllü turizmi, üst düzey gelire sahip turistlere hitap etmektedir. Bu çalışmada, gönüllü turizmi ile ilgili çalışmalara ve uygulama örneklerine dayanarak, kavramla ilgili mevcut durumun ortaya koyulması ve gençlik kuruluşları aracılığıyla nasıl geliştirilebileceğine ilişkin öneriler sunulması amaçlanmıştır. Bu gençlik kuruluşlarından bazıları uluslararası staj programları, kültürel değişim organizasyonları, çalışma kampı programları, teknik ve profesyonel yardım gruplarıdır. Çalışmada, ilgili kavramsal çalışmalar yanında, gönüllü turizmi faaliyetleri gerçekleştiren sivil toplum örgütlerinin ve gençlik kuruluşlarının internet siteleri de incelenmiştir. Sonuç olarak, gönüllü turizminin kavramsal olarak üzerinde çalışılan bir konu olduğu ancak yaygın bir uygulama alanı olmadığı görülmüştür. Gönüllü turizminin Türkiye’de geliştirilebilmesi için Kültür ve Turizm Bakanlığı’nın ve Yüksek Öğretim Kurumu’nun desteğinin alınması, yurtdışında yaşayan Türk vatandaşları ile işbirliği içinde olunması ve afet bölgelerinin gönüllü turizmi ile iyileştirilmesi gibi öneriler sunulmuştur

Some of these youth organizations is international internship programmes, cultural exchange organizations, workcamps programs, technical and proffessional aid groups. On the study, besides the conceptual work, the websites of youth organizations and nongovermental organizations that perform volunteer tourism activities has been examined.
