Holidaymakers are supporting the Travel Foundation, a
\nnew charity that is trying to help manage the travel
\nindustry more sustainably.<\/p>\n

Since the charity’s launch in November 2003, more than
\nthree-quarters of holidaymakers who booked a winter or
\nsummer holiday with UK operator First Choice have agreed to
\npay a voluntary donation to the charity.<\/p>\n

The Travel Foundation is aiming to raise £1 million a
\nyear by 2006, which it says it will spend on projects that
\nhelp tourism make a positive contribution to holiday
\ndestinations.<\/p>\n

First Choice is asking its customers to donate 10 pence
\nper adult, and 5 pence per child per holiday booking. Other
\nUK operators, including The Adventure Company (formerly
\nTravelbag Adventures) and Hidden Greece, will soon be
\nproviding similar fundraising schemes. Sunvil Holidays is
\nalready asking its customers to match its own donation of
\n50 pence per booking.<\/p>\n

The Travel Foundation has already supported sustainable
\ntourism projects in The Gambia and in Cyprus, where all the
\nmain tour operators are now offering excursions to the less
\nwell-known rural areas to help contribute to the
\nlivelihoods of local people. It plans to support similar
\ntourism-related projects in other popular holiday
\ndestinations, including Mexico and Tobago, to help tourism
\nmake a greater contribution to the local people,
\nenvironment and economy.<\/p>\n
