Village Ways works with villages where the following criteria are met:
There is responsible tourism potential and a market can be identified for it.
An additional income stream is required in the village communities to enhance livelihoods and reduce poverty.
Each village community is enthusiastic and able to engage in genuine partnership with Village Ways to achieve mutually agreed objectives and is able to take responsibility at community level in an inclusive and equitable way.
Village Ways agrees fair fees with the VTE for the provision of agreed services of a defined standard and pays promptly: fees which ensure the commercial viability of all partners.
The wider community must benefit to some significant degree from the VTE, not just those who are directly engaged in hosting guests.
