Fairness. It’s something we’ve heard a lot about during this pandemic. Between the three million people excluded from financial support during the Covid crisis, to exams being cancelled and student grades chosen by an algorithm, it feels like fairness has been in short supply.

While the World Fairtrade Organisation doesn’t certify holiday companies and hotels, they do set out a list of principles that can be carried over into tourism. Fair wages, good working conditions and empowerment of local communities is at the heart of the Fairtrade cause, so for Fairtrade Fortnight we’ve found some of the best holidays you can book that don’t come with a human cost.
