Abstract
Rooted in the Transformative Learning Theory, transformative travel facilitates travelers' self-reflection, generates powerful emotions, and encourages them to develop more inclusive views. While transformative travel research mainly focuses on visitors' perspectives, local volunteers' roles, such as docents, in guiding these experiences are left unexplored. We examine ways docents at a Museum can guide travelers through transformation by integrating the concept of emotional intelligence into the Transformative Learning Theory.
