AB - This study aims to understand the effect of voluntourism experiences on voluntourists’ psychological well-being. This study used a qualitative research. 24 voluntourists who visited other countries were recruited for pre- or post-interviews or both interviews. The findings indicated that voluntourism experiences provided voluntourists with healing and psychological satisfaction through self-reflection from their relationships with other team members and locals. It is found that voluntourism led to the improvement of a psychological well-being in travelers. It is suggested that a better understanding of the impact of voluntourism on its travelers’ psychological well-being will lead organizations to offer support and services for the trips in terms of management of the relationships between travelers and locals.
