Fair trade holidays
If you'd like to see fair trade in practice and meet the people whose lives are changed, take a Traidcraft Meet the People Tour for a unique insight.
These tours allow small groups of people to experience life in local communities.
It is not mass tourism. We undertake tours on fair trade terms to leave those we visit better off and more empowered than before.
Traidcraft has been highly commended in the 2005 Responsible Tourism Awards for Best Tour Operator.
