RT Inspiring Stories: Travel Foundation
The Travel Foundation has come together with the Responsible Tourism Partnership of Sri Lanka for an important project to minimise hassle for tourists and create opportunities for local communities to make a living from tourism, by providing quality services to tourists. Hotels in Sri Lanka received a high volume of complaints from tourists about the 'hassle' from vendors on the beach, known locally as 'beach boys'. The project aimed to provide customer service training to beach operators in Sri Lanka since 2008, improving their income from tourism and empowering locals to take pride in their work. RT @ ITB Asia
RT Inspiring Stories: Shergarh Tented Camp
Shergarh Tented Camp opened in 2004 and was established as a small and informal tented camp with a strong focus on high quality wildlife experiences, and with a deep concern for the environment and local community. The project all started with the vision to build a simple lodge from which tourists could enjoy the nearby Kanha Tiger Reserve. The plan began with purchasing a degraded plot of non-native eucalyptus plantation, then restoring the area back to original native woodland and a haven for wildlife. Shergarh Tented Camp supports the local community and has always drawn upon local skills, materials and services for their business. The owners Katie, Jehan and their two children reside there and have become a close as family with the local community, who in turn help them to run many aspects of the camp. RT @ ITB Asia.

It has been a long road towards incorporating a full team of local staff and inspiring them to become proud stakeholders of the project. Over the years Loola has been very successful in incorporating the local community, creating pride among their staff and supporting local community development projects.
