Summary
This policy outlines the issues of voluntourism and orphanages in relation to child protection, and states the criteria by which organisations (private commercial companies, social enterprises and charities) involved in voluntourism activities may apply to join The Code. This document is primarily intended for use by the Secretariat of The Code and Local Code Representatives (LCRs) when assessing a membership application from an organisation engaged in voluntourism and/or orphanage activities as tourist attraction.
The document is divided in six parts :
- Definition and scope of voluntourism and orphanages
- Description of the issues on voluntourism and orphanages
- Selection criteria for The Code
- Extra criteria for voluntourism and orphanages
- Development of tools for members offering voluntourism products and LCRs
