Social Groups

We work with the tourism industry, local communities and concerned groups in and around the tourism regions on issues of protecting the interests, rights and entitlements of children, women in general and the marginalised groups on the principles of equity, social justice, decentralisation and democratic inclusion. Our focus is people's perspectives and their demands related to social and cultural needs. We advocate for their rights & concerns in tourism and for gender, child, and caste sensitive, just and responsive guidelines, policies and legislations.

Children

Restarting Tourism with focus on Child Protection

As India responds to the pandemic, push factors that facilitate or lead to violence in general, including the sexual exploitation of children both online and offline are intensifying, or are expected to increase. The urgent need is to ensure that child protection forms an integral part of the sustainable, responsible, ethical and resilient tourism discourses. This can only be achieved if the key stakeholders and primarily tourism industry, tourism associations, tourists themselves come together to enable themselves with knowledge and expertise to prevent, mitigate, and remediate risks to child protection.
