Responsible Tourism Policy
Track of the Tiger’s Voluntourists Without Borders (VWB) Initiative offers direct support of the World Tourism Organisation (WTO) millennium goals which call for tourism to be used in the fight against world poverty.
The VWB initiative distinguishes itself from other voluntourist projects in that it implements ‘hands on’, direct funded, integrated and sustainable solutions to the problems that bring about rural poverty in the first place.
We believe strongly that the main benefactor from tourism should be the local community that hosts the visitor, and that the community should be encouraged to practice good risk management by limiting exposure to, and minimising dependence on tourism, using revenues gained to establish long term alternative incomes from non tourism related activities. |
