Who we are / Info
The Swiss Foundation for Solidarity in Tourism (SST) is a non-profit organization established in 2001 in Basel, Switzerland. Its mission is to promote fair and sustainable tourism globally by supporting projects that enhance the economic, social, and cultural conditions of populations in tourist destinations.
The foundation focuses on initiatives that contribute to sustainable tourism development and foster intercultural understanding between tourists and local communities.
SST provides grants to non-profit organizations operating in regions with significant tourism activity, especially where the benefits of tourism do not adequately reach local communities. Eligible projects should align with the foundation’s objectives and demonstrate a positive impact on local populations.
