The Community Tourism Guide by Mark Mann
A guide to new types of holidays: those which tribal people and villagers in Africa, Asia, Australia, North and South America, and the Pacific Islands are setting up, from which they might derive some income. Chosen by Tourism Concern, each holiday is presented with full contact details.Many people believe that "staying away won't stop anyone else from going so you might as well go any way" The Community Tourism Guide claims otherwise, providing a diverse global directory of tours/projects/agents who benefit local communities and don't degrade the environment. They are small organisations, many run by indigenous people themselves. You could ride horses in Mongolia, bird-watch in Namibia, camp with Bedouins, learn a language or volunteer. Instead of fake, out-of-context "cultural shows" or 20-minute coach stops to buy tribal handicrafts, you get to experience "living" culture. The benefit to the traveller is not only a guilt-free conscience, but a richer experience. Sarah Champion
