Protect Children, Build Communities


Tourism brings money, jobs, and opportunities to communities. But it can also put children–girls, boys and teenagers–at risk.

You can make a real difference. When you take action to protect children, you strengthen your community, your industry, and the future of the places you care about.

Whether you are:

you’re likely to be in contact with children (anyone under 18) every day. Your actions can help keep them safe from sexual exploitation and abuse.

For Organisations and Businesses

Your organisation or business can be a powerful force for keeping children safe—not only within your own operations, but across the entire supply chain.

We’ve created free campaign materials that you can print, display, and share with the informal workers and local communities that you interact with. Use our social media graphics, posters, guides, and other resources to:

  • Raise awareness about protecting children from child sexual exploitation.
  • Support training of your staff and partners across the supply chain.
  • Encourage responsible travel and tourism in your communities that keep children safe.
