WTI is passionate about travel and would like to see more people, communities and countries impacted positively by travel. As a global industry that does not have borders, it offers opportunities to positively impact people that are currently not benefiting from the largest industry in the world.
There are many tourism enterprises within communities that do not have the resources and technology to promote their businesses to a global audience. WTI together with strategic partners are assisting these travel businesses to cater for a discerning traveler and to reach those travelers at the point of travel planning. This gives the traveler the opportunity to include these unique travel options in their itinerary. In so doing, they make a difference to not only create jobs, but to empower communities through becoming part of the global travel sphere.
Touch the Land is an initiative that encourages travelers to travel responsibly while enjoying unique experiences such as township tourism and cultural tourism. It takes the traveler off the standard tourist routes, offering a ‘closer’ experience allowing visitors to ‘touch the land’ – both in a travel experience as well as touching communities in the long run.
WTI is currently working on community upliftment projects in South Africa. Once the programs are in place more information will be available.
