The UK Government’s Sustainable Tourism Initiative has completed its project in The Gambia with a multi-stakeholder workshop, which agreed an action plan to be implemented by the members of the Federation of Tour Operators (FTO) in The Gambia, the Gambian Tourism Authority and members of ASSET (the Association of Small Scale Enterprises in Tourism).
The Gambia Responsible Tourism Partnership under the auspices of the Gambian Tourism Authority has taken responsibility for implementing the agreed programme of work and for reporting on progress to the Responsible Tourism in Destinations conference in April 2003. The Responsible Tourism Partnership is ensuring that tourism is developed in The Gambia in a responsible and sustainable manner in the interests of the Gambian government, local people, tourists and tourism businesses in The Gambia and in the originating markets.
The agreed programme of action is to include the following:
The UK Sustainable Tourism Initiative (STI) is a joint initiative of the UK Government, UK tour operators and NGOs. The objective of the STI is to “enhance the sustainability of the UK outbound industry and to build the foundation for a continual process of improvement”.
