2. WHY
Reason for taking the good practice action

 We are highly enthisastic and passionate to explore how Karmalaya promotes the global, sustainable development projects to the goal. In addition, the approach of Karmalaya is certainly different from large agencies. KALiARE empowerment products are one of the reasons to be the ideal example that should be impressive for the counterpart or start-up companies.

Issues and challenge  The time constraint for the appointment with the company is a huge challenge Though we know it is the challenge to collect the detailed information and data directly. The communication between emails was not efficient enough to make a pretty good assessment. 
3. HOW
Methods /steps / tools used (to develop the good practice)  Interview method which is a kind of qualtitative data collection method and secondary data collection by which we can access the information publized on their website are the methods we used to acquire data. Selected GSTC criteria for tour operators in respective sections were used to assess their CSR activities.
