The ATES (Association for Fair and Solidarity Tourism) is a network of actors and specialists in fair and solidarity tourism. Created in 2006 and certified as a socially useful enterprise (ESUS), ATES brings together more than 30 travel producers, tourism operators in France and associate members, all of whom are committed to making tourism a lever for development and solidarity with local populations and actors. Recognised in France and internationally as the reference organisation for fair and solidarity tourism, it defines and promotes a different kind of tourism, based on respect, encounters and exchanges with people, know-how and cultures from here and elsewhere. The ATES defines, leads and delivers the Fair Tourism Label which guarantees the practices of operators in compliance with the Fair and Solidarity-based Tourism Charter.
