Kara-Tunga co-founder Theo Vos was asked to share what the essence of meaningful and effective stakeholder engagement is for Kara-Tunga. And what should the travel industry pay attention to and how should they engage with organisations like Kara-Tunga?
Human Rights in Tourism: “In conflict-stricken destinations, the indigenous communities are hungry for development but unaware of the risks of tourism. Tour operators/development partners must recognise inequality and invest in building their capacity to have a universal voice for making decisions and setting limits. We create a platform for dialogue with the host communities, as trust and frequent dialogue are key for sustainable relationships, extending to operators, agents and travellers.”
Sustainable tourism is no longer enough…
The people of Karamoja have embraced regenerative tourism to create a better world through travel. Since tourism in Uganda’s Karamoja sub-region is still in its infancy, it is incredibly important to raise awareness and set expectations and guidelines now. That’s why we supported our host community to develop ‘The Karamoja Travel Manifesto’. Learn more about the development process.
We are glad to have concluded a 2 days training under Uganda Safari Guides Association (USAGA) on mechanisms to prevent, detect and respond to violence against women (VAW) and Gender Based Violence (GBV) in the workplace.
The highly anticipated road constructions connecting Kenya to South Sudan through Turkana county is coming to an end. The locals of Kakuma town in Turkana county are excited about the development that will drastically increase their mobility and connection to neighbouring countries.
Maria Schiffer, 11th December 2022 – I’m back in Uganda because of Theo, whom I met while working on my book Eating With Africa In 2018. I’ve been traveling along the Warrior Nomad Trail the last week, researching and experiencing Community Tourism.
