Welcome back to our page!
Since we've been gone, Travel4Good has gone through some massive changes - one of which is our name - we are now called the Responsible Tourism Alliance - an alliance of responsible tourists, businesses and local agents.

We have been working hard on developing new integrated solutions towards strengthening capacity for tourism and rural communities in and around Chiang Mai.

Watch this space for updates on our new development projects and get ready to join the alliance!
