Dear Greentravel-group members, I´m a Tourism student doing my internship in a Finnish NGO, Fair Tourism Association.
Fair Tourism Association was founded in 2003 with the objective to raise awareness and discussion on sustainable tourism. In order to do this, the association organizes various cultural and educational events, discussion forums, and participates in domestic exhibitions. The association is represented throughout Finland by the members of its executive committee. At the moment we have approx. 250 members, and this group consists of tourism teachers and students, entrepreneurs and active travelers. The reason I´m writing to you is to ask whether you could provide us with information on other small associations, foundations or the like working in the field of sustainable tourism. We would be also very interested to know what kind of activities you have, and whether you have co-operation with other associations, schools or companies. Our association would really appreciate to exchange some experiences on working in the field of sustainable tourism as a small NGO. Your answer could provide us with some valuable information for future collaboration potential with other small or medium sized NGOs. Please, don't hesitate to contact us at i...@reilumatkailu.fi. Looking forward to hearing from you soon. With kind regards, Joanna Jäntti
