Project Description
Ethical Encounters (ÉÉ) is a Small Social Enterprise; founded to "Unite Cultures through Travel and Tourism" We seek to use the economic clout of tourism to enhance the living conditions of children and villagers in the local Communities. ÉÉ believes that ethical travel is a net positive for the planet. By choosing to volunteer and remembering our role as global citizens, we can create international goodwill and help change the world for the better.
Our endeavors are to;
- Minimise negative economic, environmental, and social impacts;
- Generate greater economic benefits for local people and enhance the well-being of host communities;
- Make positive contributions to the conservation of cultural heritage, to the maintenance of Africa's diversity;
- Provide more enjoyable experiences for tourists through more meaningful connections with local people, and a greater understanding of local cultural, social and environmental issues;
- Be culturally sensitive, encourage respect between tourists and hosts, and build local pride and confidence.
