Heaven help me, yet another nasty new noun, the unholy marriage of "volunteer" and "tourism".
Voluntourism, an act carried out by "voluntourists", is when hoardes of - generally - the great unwashed backpacker brigade descend on a place to do have a jolly nice holiday - usually at precious little cost to themselves - and do the occasional bit of good work.
Looks good on one's CV as a gap year activity.

Voluntourist 1: Shall we go to Khao Lak to engage in a spot of voluntourism?
Voluntourist 2: No, tsunami voluntourism is old hat now. All the bars are closed and hardly anyone is living in the houses built, anyway.
Voluntourist 1: Good point. (pauses) Sierra Leone?
Vouluntourist 2: Are you insane?

I hold doors open for ladies and am therefore chivalrous. You, you "souped-up" Citroen Saxo driver, you wearer of faux Burberry, you drinker of crap cider, you denizen of a sink estate, you comon oaf, are chavalrous. Begone!

Whorist (noun), a bastardised compound of whore and tourist, and to be fair, not a great deal different to a sexpat.
