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
