Three South African tourism companies have joined the list of Fair Trade Tourism-approved tour operators entitled to market Fair Trade Holidays.
Livingstone Safaris, in Cape Town; Southern Africa 360; and Journey in Style have been approved by agreeing to Fair Trade Tourism’s principles of packaging and promoting holidays in which at least 50% of the bed-nights featured are spent in tourism establishments that are certified by Fair Trade Tourism or by a mutually recognised certification scheme in Africa.
“Tour operators play a major role in influencing responsible travel through the holiday packages they design and offer to clients,” said Fair Trade Tourism MD, Nivashnee Naidoo. “We are delighted to welcome our newly approved operators on board and look forward to working with them to promote the Fair Trade Tourism and Fair Trade Holiday brands.”
