Help us to help them
In Laos we have created a new generation of community-based tourism that connects government offices to local tour companies and to villages. Together, this alliance can provide tourism products which effect communities in a positive way. The project generated jobs and limits numbers of visitors. It also promotes remote areas and makes these low income areas a new and interesting destination for responsible visitors.
Our project focuses on community-based tourism in the Northern region of Laos. We help 7 villages to organise and run their own tourist products. We believe responsible tourism is the only way to reduce poverty in this region and are succeeding!
As the Project is a cooperation with local authorities, a private tour company and NGO's, we need constant support from people who have the desire to do more than a holiday!
All involved partners of the project are not paid to run the project full time. For all involved parties it is a part time job.
We want you to visit and help us!
