Human Rights

People are at the core of any Journey Latin America holiday and we seek to have a positive social impact both in Latin America and at home. We believe tourism can be a force for good, and we aim to travel positively by supporting responsible practices locally, by providing authentic experiences and by developing lasting relationships to help protect the richly diverse Latin American communities we visit.

Local Suppliers
We nurture strong relationships with our local suppliers who share our vision and agree to:

• Uphold a commitment to local communities through fair employment policies and responsible energy use.
• Ensure that benefits from tourism filter down to local communities.
• Inform us of services that show outstanding commitment to sustainability to help us spread the word.

Human Rights and Modern Slavery
We share responsibility with our partners to operate ethically, so encouraging fair working conditions is central to our strategy. We commit to ensuring we are not complicit in exploitation or abuse of people and that human rights values are upheld throughout our supply chain. We have developed our Human Rights & Modern Slavery policy based on the principles outlined in the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights.

Child Safeguarding
Child safeguarding encompasses protecting children from any harm including online abuse, neglect, negligence, emotional, physical or sexual abuse and commercial exploitation. We have developed a Child Safeguarding policy to raise awareness to customers and partners, and implement safeguarding measures across our operation. Our comprehensive Human Rights & Modern Slavery and Child Safeguarding policies aim to:

• Respect and protect people and communities we encounter.
• Pledge a zero-tolerance approach to human rights and child safeguarding abuses.
• Provide good practice guidelines highlighting the standards we expect on the ground.
• Encourage staff, clients and local representatives to monitor and report any concerns.
• Specify a dedicated point of contact within Journey Latin America to oversee and develop our approach.
