INTRODUCTION

During the last few years, the Kuoni Group has been working for the protection of children from sexual abuse together with ECPAT International (End Child Prostitution, Child Pornography and Trafficking of Children for Sexual Purposes) and its affiliated organizations in different countries. Kuoni signed the Code of Conduct for the Protection of Children from Sexual Exploitation in Travel and Tourism in 2006 as part of its corporate responsibility strategy (www.kuoni-group.com /corporate+responsibility). Since then, Kuoni has conducted workshops in the Dominican Republic, Kenya, Thailand and India to make their business partners aware of the issue of commercial sexual exploitation of children in tourism and take action against it.
