Imagine a kind of tourism which is in harmony with the ethical standards for people and planet...
Fair Trade in Tourism is about ensuring people whose land is used for this activity, actually benefit from tourism and get a right price for their labor.
The FFTSA-label is already given to 26 companies in South-Africa with this green profile. The local government started this label in 1994 and since then, the country is the largest exporter of Fair Trade Products in the world. But more important, the value of tourism has been rising significantly with 150% in the GDP. Every company can get certified if they obey on 2 qualifications: to respect human rights and give them a coherent payment.
