Philippines Meet the People Tour

We also stay on the coast, with opportunities to visit marine sanctuaries, take nature walks and explore monuments from Spanish colonial days.

Tour highlights

Highlights of the tour include:

• time with APFTI/Traidcraft producers and other projects
• tours to sites of natural, historical and cultural interests
• the chance to visit people in their homes
• opportunities to discuss and learn about a wide variety of issues
• the chance to be part of a small group of like-minded individuals

Meet the producers

One of the groups you will be visiting is Saffy Handicrafts, whose workshops in Manila employ men and women to sew and make capiz and other craft items.

They export their own products and also provides a marketing service for other community groups and small, family businesses.
