We are currently awaiting funding to expand this programme. If you are a community based tourism enterprise interested in joining the database, please email Alex at
alex@responsibletravel.com with your contact details to be notified when new applications are being accepted.
Please note that all Community Based Tourism projects on responsibletravel.com must be able to respond to reservation enquiries by email or telephone within 48 hours. Tour operators play a very important role in this programme as they have a great deal of marketing expertise. Tour operators generate regular business which is vital for communities who do not have the financial resources to survive a quiet period.
responsibletravel.com already works with over 270 established tour companies and is introducing relevant community based tourism projects to these tour operators on a one by one basis to give them the chance to market community based tourism ventures as part of their tour programmes.
The Community Based Tourism Programme was launched at the World Travel Market on 8 November 2006
