Voluntourism is gaining popularity as people decide that they want to make a difference in other parts of the world.
Earthwatch has partnered with Travelocity to create a web site call Travel for Good, a website for travelers interested in making a difference on their next remote holiday adventure. There is information on all kinds of great trips and even some information on how to apply for grants to pay for your adventure. Voluntourism allows you to give back to the communities you visit on your travels for a couple of days or for even a few months.

The destinations vary including India, Tanzania, Brazil and many more. One particularly interesting destination is Tanzania where volunteers visit Bagamoyo, while working along side with local tribes in organizations offering services in caregiving, teaching, healthcare and community developmement.
