Philippines
The Philippines is an intricate network of islands whose natural beauty and ethnic diversity make it a fascinating country. A chance to get to know the Philippines and its active fair trade scene in depth, this tour heads south from Manila through the Bicol region, stopping off at co-operatives making crafts from hemp and abaca as well as visiting fair trade pineapple farmers. We also stay on the coast, with opportunities to visit marine sanctuaries, take nature walks and explore monuments from Spanish colonial days.
