    Fair Trade Tourism and Travelife companies from South Africa and Zambia @ WTM LONDON 2023

    London Excel

    If you are coming to WTM London and would like to connect with certified suppliers from Africa then I have some great recommendations for you.

    Fair Trade Tourism-certified Three Tree Hill and its wonderful Africa Safari Collective lodge partners can be found on the South Africa Tourism stand (S8-220).

    Great choice but there's more.

    Did you know that Fair Trade Tourism (FTT) and Travelife for Tour Operator certification are active in Zambia now? You’ll find some examples on the Zambia Tourism stand (S8-422):

    DMCs with Travelife Partner Award:

    Accommodation with Fair Trade Tourism in progress:

    Last but not least, if South African homestays and community tourism are something that you would like include into trips then I can tell you more about a wonderful & award-winning initiative called Traditional African Homestays TAHS-SA.

    This is a growing network of villages throughout South Africa that can host your guests and uses tourism to uplift communities. Working with international tour operators is welcomed and there is a dedicated team of tourism professionals that manages B2B relationships that I can connect you with.

    I hope these recommendations have triggered your interest? I will be moving between the two stands mentioned above and happy to update you on FTT and Travelife’s activities in Africa (Uganda loading!) and the homestay network.

    Looking forward to seeing you at WTM!
