AB - This paper examined the motivation of volunteer tourists in the Galapagos Islands. To strengthen the theoretical ideas, 8 volunteer tourists who participated in volunteer work, and tourism were selected to be volunteer tourists and used in the pilot interview. To satisfy the research objectives, the researcher conducted three in-depth interviews with volunteer tourists. The results suggest that, the motivation factors of a volunteer tourist can be classified according to push and pull factors. The “Attraction of the Galapagos”, “the novelty of travel”, and “the desire for new experience” are all representative factors of motivation. This shows that the volunteer tourists want to escape from their daily life and normal tourism experiences. Furthermore, it was discovered that an emotional change appears in volunteer tourists depending on the type and responsibility level of the volunteer work. Conclusions include recommendations for further research and discussion.
