Main area of focus in Caring for the Destination:  

Historic environment.

Detailed description of the Caring for the Destination Initiative: 

Each traveller registering with us for this tour will have to pay a 5% participation fee (included in the price) to the island association which:

- Trains young people of the island to become professional guides, thus helping local people to benefit from tourism income

- teach them how to be aware of their tragic history in order to raise a collective positive memory. The motto could be translated to "We need to remember, we need to forgive"

- teaches every island inhabitant proper ways of treating waste; Goree Island is the cleanest destination in Senegal and to spread awareness about not throwing any litter on the streets.
