SIPPO, the Swiss Import Promotion Programme, is a mandate
of the State Secretariat for Economic Affairs, SECO, within the
framework of its economic development cooperation. It is carried
out by Osec, the official Swiss foreign trade promotion agency.
The programme helps SMEs in developing and transition coun-
tries to gain access to the Swiss and European markets by
providing information, training courses and other matchmaking
services. SIPPO also assists importers from Switzerland and the
European Union with finding suitable partners and high-quality
products from selected developing and transition countries.
The programme has five main goals:• To inform the Swiss and European import economy about new
market sources
• To strengthen trade institutions and business sector associa-
tions in the trade promotion process
• To increase the competitiveness of SMEs in selected partner
countries
• To develop the manufacturing and exporting skills of SMEs in
selected partner countries
• To establish qualified trade contacts between SMEs from
emerging markets and markets in transition and the Swiss and
European import economy

Fair Trade in Tourism South Africa (FTTSA).In close cooperation with the Swiss Import Promotion Programme
(SIPPO), South African Tourism, Tourism Enterprise Partnership
(TEP) and the South African Embassy in Berne, Fair Trade in
Tourism South Africa (FTTSA) is committed to contribute to the
transformation of South Africa’s tourism industry benefitting local
communities and previously marginalised entrepreneurs.
The presence of South African small and medium-sized tourism
enterprises at the TTW aims to encourage Swiss outbound tour
operators and travel agents to support responsible tourism in
South Africa by supporting the local economy, hosting communi-
ties and enhancing visitors’ experience.
FTTSA is the world’s first and still only Fair Trade certification
programme for tourism enterprises. The label guarantees that
FTTSA-certified tourism products are committed to operating in
a socially and environmentally responsible manner.
FTTSA will be using the international stage of the TTW to cater
for the increasing number of Swiss travellers that are aware of
the social, cultural, economic and ecological impacts of tourism
on development – a fact that can and should indeed no longer be
ignored by Switzerland’s traditional tour operators to South
Africa.
South Africa is globally recognised as a leader in the growing
field of responsible tourism and FTTSA is at the forefront of this
movement. Hopefully more Swiss travellers will join in and look
for FTTSA-certified products while on holiday or travelling for
business to South Africa.
