Standards for Friendly Tour Operators (FTO) support for the local economy

• FTOs maximize the use and purchase of local and CBT products and services (e.g. accommodation, transport in and out, activities, food, souvenirs).
• FTOs have an agreement or contract with the community on CBT products, prices and procedures.
• FTOs provide advice to the CBT Committee on potential additional services that will increase CBT income.
• FTOs, staff and clients contribute to, or take part in, local development work (e.g., village projects, education, maintenance of local roads etc.).
