Fair Tourism works fervently on Sustainable Tourism, whereby nature is protected and the local communities are actively involved. We want to make consumers and other stakeholders passionate about sustainable tourism, so we can create awareness of the importance of nature protection and involvement of local communities in tourism development. For example by organising workshops, guest lectures, exchange programmes and developing educational materials. Secondly, we assist local communities at destinations with the development of small-scale tourism activities that contribute towards poverty alleviation and nature conservation. We are open to work together with different stakeholders, like governments, tour operators, NGOs and local communities, to achieve this goal. 

Since 2012, we are involved with the Kayan in Thailand, mostly with the Huay Pu Keng village which made the transition towards CBT. A great part of this tribe (sub-group of the Karenni people) from Myanmar, ﬂed to Thailand in the 80s, to escape violence and forced labour by the military in their home country. Together with other hill-tribes from Myanmar, they were settled in refugee camps along the border. The Thai government brought them over to villages to act as a tourist attraction. As they are not Thai citizens, their freedom of movement is conﬁned to the villages. Fair Tourism wants to assist these communities to make the transition towards community-based tourism (CBT).
