Wild Asia in partnership with WHOA! Adventures are jointly launching a Responsible Tourism (RT) campaign to all our travel partners (tour operators and accommodation providers) to boost RT membership for 2006 / 2007. If you are not already our travel partner and would like to find out more, email us at whoa_me@whoa-adventures.com.
Read on carefully now to create a win for your business.
The aim of this campaign is to promote the practice of RT among tourism operators (resort owners, hotels, homestays, etc). RT ensures tourism operations are managed in such a way that they protect the natural environment, respect local cultures and benefit the local community. The overall goal is to promote sustainable tourism, and hence, offer a quality travel experience for the tourist and to ensure that the benefits are also enjoyed by the local community.
Wild Asia and WHOA! supports Responsible Tourism (RT) operators by:
• Advertising RT information on your business to the public
• Onsite consultation on RT practices
• Documenting customer feedback and looping it to you
• Proactive marketing of RT partners

Signing up is easy and free for the first year! If you are a travel operator, email us for a membership and an RT self-assessment form. The RT self assessment form will take about 1 hour to complete. We expect a person in a senior management position to fill up the forms. Email it back to us when complete.
Membership fees payable to Wild Asia is only USD 100 per year. This is a tiny amount compared to the benefits you receive. Sign up today!
