Set up in 1989, Tourism Concern is a unique, independent charity dedicated to campaigning for ethical and fairly traded tourism. We believe that people would simply enjoy their holidays more if they knew no one had been displaced from their land to allow them to view wildlife, that local people weren't suffering water shortages while they swam in their hotel pool and that the money they spent was benefiting local people directly. We are funded by individual supporters who are often keen travelers themselves and who want their holidays to be as good for the people they visit as they are for them.
