Interview with Nivashnee Naidoo of Fair Trade Travel
Traveling with a clean conscience
The Fair Trade movement has come a long way since it first gained traction sixty years ago. Today, “fair trade” is a household name synonymous with just wages and decent working conditions for workers and farmers in developing countries.
Now, even our holidays can be enjoyed with a clean conscience, knowing that our travel itineraries contribute to sustainable development by uplifting the local economies of tourism destinations. This is traveling the Fair Trade Tourism way. The non-profit organization promotes sustainable tourism across southern Africa by advocating sustainable operations in tourism businesses through the Fair Trade Tourism certification programme.
