This guideline addresses tour operators, assisting them in systematically implementing the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. The implementation process is divided into five key fields of action:
Strategy: develop human rights business policy
Survey: assess human rights impacts of business activities
Integration: integrate human rights in corporate culture and management
Remedy: facilitate complaints and improve situation for the affected
Reporting: conduct progress review and report publicly
The five fields of action are derived from the business-relevant UN Guiding Principles 11 through 24 and 29 through 31. The methods, instruments and steps relevant to their implementation will be explained in the implementation guidelines.
