Here is the direct link to our training "Human Rights in Tourism".

Nine tourism companies—ranging from large to small—along with five industry associations and civil society organizations have collaborated to create a free online training course on human rights due diligence in the tourism value chain. This initiative aims to empower businesses across the tourism sector by providing their direct partners with essential knowledge and tools to uphold human rights standards.

The "Human Rights in Tourism" digital training is designed for tourism suppliers worldwide. It aims to expand knowledge of human rights standards and responsibilities in the industry. It is freely available in English, Spanish, and French on atingi.org.

This project was initiated by the Roundtable Human Rights in Tourism and Futouris e.V.
It was supported by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and was implemented under the Sector Dialogue on Tourism for Sustainable Development.
