What is the "Fair Trek" Project
Through
Fair Trek we have created a new generation of community-based tourism in Laos!
The project connects government offices to local tour companies and to local
villages who benefit directly from tourism interaction. Together, this alliance
provides tourism products which effect communities in a positive and sustainable
way. The project generates 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. The village development funds, which were created include
a "village fund" and a "re-forestration fund" in which every
guest have to make his contribution through the operating tour company. You can
also be a part of "Fair Trek" in Laos and join one of the tours or come
to volunteer with us for a certain period.
A "Fair Trek" always follows the br /guidelines and the mission!
