摘要：
The aim of this paper is to examine the offer of Slovak and Czech tour operators and travel agencies with regard to tours which involve volunteer activities. The data was obtained by mystery e-mailing. The samples were members of professional association that protect the interests of travel agencies in Slovakia and the Czech Republic. The article shows that tour operators and travel agencies operating in the Slovak and Czech markets have not responded to the growing trend of volunteer tourism. As intermediaries in volunteer tourism, they only play a negligible role.
