THE PROMOTION OF RESPONSIBLE TOURISM CONTRIBUTING TO THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF DISADVANTAGED REGIONS

Bakary was born into a modest family in the southern suburbs of Dakar. At 17, this ambitious young man dreams of only one thing: working closely with tourists in one of the hotels in the Senegalese capital. 1,500km away, in southern Mali, Djeneba wants to take over a plot of land from his family and diversify its family farming. Difficult to consider for a young woman of 25 years old.

Thanks to Tourism for Help, Rathana, Salimata and Abdramane will be able to realize their dreams. This Swiss association offers young people from disadvantaged backgrounds targeted training, thanks to its partnerships with local authorities, associations and businesses. The association has four application hotel-restaurants and a agroecological farm school in Cambodia, Senegal, Mali and Benin.

The association is not only active in Africa and Asia. Its objective is the promotion of responsible tourism contributing to the economic development of disadvantaged regions. In Switzerland, this involves raising awareness of what sustainable development is, and especially responsible tourism.
