Book: The Good Alternative Travel Guide
Tourism Concern, the campaign charity for ethical and fairly traded tourism, have renamed and updated their ‘Community Tourism Guide’, describing hundreds of holidays that benefit poor communities throughout Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Pacific – with practical details for booking a holiday.
Other sections spotlight indigenous tourism in Australia, New Zealand, the USA and Canada. The guide contains many examples of true ecotourism. Trips that can offer local people in conservation hotspots a sustainable alternative to logging, overfishing, overfarming, working for oil companies, etc. This is ecotourism that benefits not just the tour operator, but local people and the environment too. Many projects are supported by leading conservation organisations.
The book aims to prove that being ‘ethical’ need not mean a dull holiday. Featured trips include luxury safaris, adventurous backpacking expeditions, snorkelling, kayaking, beach holidays, jungle lodges, spectacular hiking, dog-sledding, whale watching, fascinating cultural adventures, salsa and drumming holidays.
