   More about the
   Sustainable Tourism Network

Our aim:
Our aim is to raise awareness of sustainable tourism practices in order to encourage their use in Lao PDR.  The network will enable open discussion between all those with an interest in sustainable tourism , and provide an opportunity for sharing information and making contacts.

Who can join?
The forum is open to all interested parties – the key to success is to attract and maintain a wide base of participants. We want to encourage both Lao and international individuals and organisations to regularly attend our monthly meetings. Ideally the participants will be drawn from both the public and private sectors, and from a range of fields including tourism, culture, conservation and poverty alleviation.

Specifc objectives
