Can voluntourism become a chance for development of underdeveloped areas of Croatia?

Croatia has the potential to develop volunteer tourism as one of the new alternative tourism products that aims to transform individuals, but also society, and provide incentives to act for the benefi t of the community. Combining volunteerism and tourism would contribute to the development of the local community by implementing meaningful projects aligned with the needs of the community on the one hand and the interests of volunteers on the other. Benefi ts of seting up volunteer camps would be to foster creativity, innovation and imagination of trainees, develop environmental awareness, critical thinking and environmental responsibility, understand the problems of modern society such as the nature of capitalism, materialism and consumerism, and then adopt sustainable lifestyles in line with nature, and fostering eco-centric awareness, a culture of collaboration, understanding, togetherness, tolerance and communication among people
