Trekking in Laos, but why is it a “Fair Trek”?
As Laos is still a hidden paradise, we believe it is essential to take care of this fragile heritage. Tiger Trail has set up the “Fair Trek” project in 2007. Aim of the project is to generate alternative income, support inter-cultural exchange, education and development for the remote villages in Laos.
Fair Trek supports tourism in regions that have little job opportunities and at the same time takes the carrying capacity of the communities into account, in order to prevent negative impacts from tourism, both socially and environmentally.
The project connects governmental offices with local companies and villages. The aim of the program is not only to collect money, but also to encourage ownership and self-management within their communities resulting in sustainable development and tourism alike.
