One can travel, not to escape himself, impossible thing, but to find himself.

Fair Wings is a Non Profit Organisation created to encourage the development of responsible tourism, initially in Nepal, and now more generally in tourism destinations. Since Fair Wings’ founders did not end up working for the association but for other organizations, the achievements have been very modest compared to initially planed.

Fair Wings is therefore dedicated to the promotion of responsible tourism in destinations where its members have either travelled and/or worked. The presentation of the destination’s commitments towards responsible tourism aim to give visibility to the initiatives taking place and allows tour operators, project developers, NGOs and travellers to have a better understanding of the country.
So far, Fair Wings presents three destinations of South Asia officially hosting world’s biodiversity hotspots – kerala, Sri Lanka and Nepal - as well as the most visited country in the world - France.

Based on Fair Wings member’s experience of the responsible tourism scene in destinations, particularly in South Asia, a strong need for a better understanding of the visitors’ expectations and the outbound market has been identified. Fair Wings has consequently presented on its website a document about the marketing of ecotourism products, prepared for the Prithvi seminar on eco-friendly products.

Now established in France, Fair Wings’ founders will seek to develop responsible tourism projects according to their availability.
