About ATTA® for Action:

ATTA® for Action is a pioneering endeavor envisioned to create a collaborative platform that brings together key stakeholders in the tourism sector, non-profit organizations, and local communities. Our goal is to create a Pan Africa network of connected projects that support social and environmental sustainability, ensuring that the benefits of tourism extend to local economies, cultures, and the natural environment.

The Partnership Opportunity:

By participating in ATTA® for Action, not-for-profit organisations will have the unique opportunity to engage with tourism business to forge impactful partnerships, and that align with their organization's mission. Tourism-based business can authentically demonstrate their commitment to community and conservation by providing a platform of public awareness exposure and potential funds and donors to these small grassroot organisations.

For years many tourism companies of all sizes have successfully been integrating contributions to local not-for-profits into their client itineraries. We believe that providing all stakeholders with an accessible network of established localized and meaningful organisations will assist in normalizing this as the industry standard for greater impact. We firmly believe that ATTA® member’s commitment to environmental and social responsibility can play a pivotal role in shaping a brighter future for African tourism and its communities.
