Child safe tourism toolkit launched in Fiji
Last week, AVI launched its ‘Community-based child safe tourism toolkit – a practical resource for communities in Fiji to strengthen child safety measures within tourism activities.‘
The Toolkit was developed with the primary purpose of providing communities in Fiji with practical information to strengthen child safety measures within tourism activities.The Toolkit provides information on simple things everyone can do towards making tourism safe for children and positive for everyone.
It includes checklists, user-friendly templates and supporting materials for communities in the tourism sector. It also provides a list of recommendations and practical tips to help communities, parents and caregivers, tour operators, and tourists take meaningful action to encourage the safeguarding of children in tourism.
