how this holiday makes a difference
|
The Volta Region is blessed with a rich culture and tremendous scenery, with lakes, mountains, forests and waterfalls. You will be resident there for eight days to experience the rhythm of the community and learn from drumming and dancing professionals. You can study intensively or take day trips to see the surrounding area - or a bit of both, ideal if you are are family with different interests. The tours allow visitors to appreciate the skills of the indigenous artists and craftspeople, and to interact with them as guests learning from the artists.

Tourism can be good and bad for destinations & local people. We carefully screen every holiday against our criteria for responsible travel. 'Look behind the brochure' to find how each holiday makes a difference (see left). We don't claim to be perfect - there is no global accreditation - but we've led the way since 2001 and screened 1000's of holidays. We invite every traveller to write a review about their experiences and responsible tourism. This valuable feedback is sent to the people who run the holidays. We keep a very close eye on it and take off holidays that don't live up to our standards. |
