Four of the world’s leading tourism companies, together with GIZ and The Code, launched a joint project to combat child sex tourism. Project partners – TUI Travel, Accor Group, Kuoni Group, and ITB – aim to ensure and inspire action on the issue through testing and optimization of the tools put in place in Thailand as the pilot country.

Kode Etik kanggo Proteksi Bocah saka Eksploitasi Seksual ing Plancongan lan Pariwisata (Kode), minangka organisasi multi-pihak, digawe minangka alat praktis kanggo industri pariwisata sing njupuk tindakan nglawan eksploitasi seksual komersial bocah.

“This work cannot be done without involving the tourism sector itself, which is why we are very excited to get these major stakeholders on board for this pilot project,” said Andreas Astrup, General Manager of The Code.

Within this voluntary code of conduct, members of the tourism industry worldwide commit to implement six criteria, those being: (1) establish an ethical policy, (2) train personnel, (3) introduce a Code-related clause in contracts with suppliers, (4) provide information to travelers, (5) provide information to key persons at the destination, and (6) to report annually to The Code on the initiatives undertaken.

Kode kasebut sukses banget ing tugas ningkatake kesadaran lan merekrut anggota anyar lan saiki misuwur ing sektor pariwisata. Kode kasebut menang sawetara penghargaan lan duwe luwih saka 1,000 wong sing ndaftar ing saindenging jagad.

Nanging, kanggo mesthekake yen perusahaan sing mlebu Kode kasebut ngetrapake kriteria sing ditindakake uga nglaporake kerjane, layanan online adhedhasar cloud, dikembangake. Layanan kasebut bakal kalebu sistem E-Learning lan sistem pelaporan online anyar.

“It is crucial that the industry gets involved in testing, strengthening, and adapting the new tools, which is why we are supporting this new private project,” said Matthias Leisinger, Head of Corporate Responsibility at Kuoni.

“It is our hope that the tourism industry will follow the lead of the Kuoni Group, Accor Group, TUI Travel, and ITB by adopting these instruments of self-regulation to end the abhorrent practice of child sex tourism worldwide,” encouraged Andreas Astrup.

The project is implemented in cooperation with the Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH and is part of the develoPPP.de program financed by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).
