My story

TOURISM CONCERN'S 100 APPEAL

“Without the brave and pioneering work of this shoestring charity, I very much doubt that today’s major tour operators would have the responsible policies of which the travel industry is now so proud." Alison Rice, travel journalist & broadcaster and Associate Lecturer in Tourism and the Media at the University of the Arts London

Thank you for visiting our justgiving page. As you know, we have launched a ‘100 Appeal’ to help fight for our financial survival. We are appealing for 100 companies to donate £1,000 each so we can continue our pioneering work into 2010.

The 100 Appeal is already supported by several leading travel companies including Sunvil, Expert Africa, bgb, Reed Expeditions, Explore, Oasis Overland.

“The contradictions between the strong corporate world and that of a sometimes seemingly voiceless population living in abject poverty in developing countries needs balancing in a way that is not destructive to the very fundamental principles of tourism itself. Tourism Concern stands for respect, justice and fair play for the less fortunate in destinations around the world. They have been an inspirational journey of awareness.”

Adama Bah, The Gambia is Good, winner of the responsibletravel.com award for contributing most to responsible tourism.

Our core work supports people, particularly in the developing world, whose human rights have been severely impacted by tourism developments. Often they live in fear of reprisals if they speak out about their land or water resources being snatched in the name of a tourism development. Other times they simply need an outside person to give them advice and guidance about how best to manage a difficult situation, such as poor working conditions. They often have no other recourse to get their problems heard and supported except through us.

Often we find that the wider travel industry isn’t even aware of many of the issues we encounter. We are keen to work with the industry to raise awareness and galvanise positive change.

So please dig deep and donate now!

Many, many, thanks,

Tourism Concern
