Abstract

This paper presents the results of qualitative research conducted among the master students in the study program Business Administration in Tourism, within the Faculty of Economic Sciences and Business Administration, Transilvania University of Brașov, which targeted the awareness of the concept of volunteer tourism. The research has shown that the subjects have little information about this type of tourism, which should be better promoted in the future, among young people, especially among those who study tourism.
