International development charity Plan UK has joined forces with specialist tour
operators The Adventure Company in a cause related marketing partnership to raise
funds for its work.
The Adventure Company offers cultural journeys, wildlife, trekking
and wilderness trips in Africa, Asia, Latin America and Europe. It has a policy 
of attempting to limit the negative impacts of tourism by encouraging its clients
to act responsibly and by supporting local projects.

The company has committed initially to supporting Plan’s projects in Peru, as this
is one of the most popular destinations for their customers. For every client travelling
on a trip to Peru, The Adventure Company will donate £5 to Plan’s latrine project
and will match clients’ donations to a maximum of £10.

Plan staff are also giving talks on their work to The Adventure Company’s customers
visiting Cusco, Peru. Later this year, travellers will have the opportunity to meet
communities in Cusco and the Sacred Valley, and see some of Plan’s projects in development.
