Save Tourism Concern October 15, 2009
Posted by CamdenKiwi in : Travel , trackbackTourism Concern is a small charity which focuses on human rights issues in tourism, and is particularly concerned with the rights of indigenous populations in tourist destination countries.
If you’ve had a holiday in the Maldives, been on a gap year volunteering programme, or just done the bucket and spade thing on a Costa, Tourism Concern has been involved.
Over the years they’ve done great work to improve the impact of tourism, and move it closer to an ideal vision of tourism that benefits the host community and provides a happy, enriching experience for the tourist.
They’re a force for good in an industry which is often very far from that vision, so I am sad to see it reported in the trade press today that they are likely to fold this year if they can’t raise more finds.
Please, donate, buy the latest edition of their excellent Ethical Travel Guide, or at least pass this blog post on to your friends!
