dc.description.abstract | Volunteering is important to Australia's social and economic fabric, contributing $42 billion per annum to the Australian economy (Productivity Commission, 2010), and delivering many crucial services, particularly in rural areas. The tourism sector, in particular, is highly dependent on volunteers to deliver key visitor services at attractions, events, destinations and in emergency services. There has, however, been a decline in volunteer hours since 1995. Volunteers face a number of constraints on their ability to volunteer, and volunteering itself can be stressful. This paper examines how constraints impact on volunteers at different life stages using secondary data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics 2010 survey of Voluntary Work in order to propose a model of constraints across the volunteer engagement life cycle. Finally, we discuss the implications of these constraints for tourism organisations going forward. | |
