Incoming tour operator, founded in 1996, TLB Destinations offers tourism experiences in the Middle East – mainly Lebanon, Syria and Jordan. For the past 12
years, TLB Destinations has taken travellers to trips with an emphasis on “mingling” with local community and has proven that responsible tourism can significantly benefit local communities. To participate in, and contribute to local development initiatives, TLB founded CIFA (Centre d’Insertion par la Formation et l’Activité), a non-profit organization, which offers: practical training for university students; social development for unemployed; job opportunities to improve the standard of living of local community; improved relations between private and public sectors; assistance in the establishment of micro-enterprises; intervention to support deprived school children and enable them to participate in TLB’s outings. The company encourages responsible conduct of tourists during their trips to preserve destinations ecosystem. Travellers are made aware of local concerns regarding conservation of natural areas, as well as endangered and threatened heritage. TLB established national days and respects international days with events to raise awareness. For more information, please visit: www.tlb-destinations.com
