post-92330-0-06165600-1398082401_thumb.p Really Responsible Tourism - www.travel4Good.com launches what it describes as an innovative disruption in responsible tourism.
It offers on non-commission based online search and distribution system that provides responsibly operated tourism SMEs (the sellers) higher rates for their products, the tourist (buyer) lower prices and a greater product range, and the host country/community (destination) a much more equitable share of tourism revenues. (Some say that 50% of the US$ 1'075.- billion tourism revenues for 2012 went to the middlemen.)

The model aims to create jobs, provide opportunity, address inequality and reduce the impact of mass tourism on the people, their customs and culture. It can be replicated anywhere.

The 'pilot project' now running is the Sanpatong Tourist Route in Chiang Mai, and has 50+ businesses signed up - most never seen by the mainstream tourist.
Visit the website and read ABOUT T4G for more detail.
