Slum tourism, poverty tourism, ghetto tourism or trauma tourism is a type of tourism that involves visiting impoverished areas, or in some cases, areas that were affected by disasters, such as nuclear fallout zones like Chernobyl or Fukushima (hence the term “trauma tourism”).

Common People is a banger.
The evangelical church had me do week long “mission trips” as a teenager to poor places all over the world. I was told I’d be helping “build a school”. I guess that thousand dollar round trip plane ticket to get an unskilled teenager to do shitty construction work made more sense than just cutting those people a check to hire local skilled labor. Anyway - it was poverty tourism dressed up.
