At the same time, there has been a growing interest in the analysis of this phenomenon by academics which have conceptualised and drawn attention to different dynamics of volunteer tourism (Salvador, 2019). However, despite the multiple definitions of the concept, there is still a lack of consensus of the critical components of voluntourism (Gofrey et al., 2019). Meanwhile, it is also argued that volunteer tourism should no longer be seen as a unique form of tourism. However, it can be used as an umbrella containing different niches, such as voluntourism in orphanages, in slumified areas where the community lives in favelas, medical, education, environmental conservation, natural disasters, among others. In this way, micro-niche segmentation would allow for a better understanding of participants through research areas such as motivations, which have been extensively analysed in the scientific literature
(Stainton, 2016). More concretely, empirical studies have focused on the three principal stakeholders that interact in volunteer tourism: sending organisations, volunteers and host communities. Therefore, ways of organising and running the phenomenon, motivations, impacts, ethical implications, generated dynamics, as well as a global evaluation of these types of practices have been explored.
