Grassroots and Sustainable Tourism

A unique feature of the WHL network is that each destination booking site is owned and operated by locals. You deal directly with local people in the destination you are travelling to and unlike other global booking sites, the people you book with will be there when you get there.

They not only know the destination intimately, but they have been selected to become part of the growing WHL family because they care ......care about their local community, about their culture and about the local environment.

Your Local Connection

More from some of our local partners........

From Banele, Maqhawe, Anita and Darron in Swaziland ........ "Swaziland is very much a people place. Sure, it's got Swaziland Teammountains, rivers, forests, wildlife, art, craft and history, but the enduring memory that you, the traveller, will have of this country is its people. Warm, friendly, interested, uncomplicated and full of good humour - such are the people of Swaziland.

A purely automated booking service would never do the Swazi tourism product justice, thus we are very proud to be the human link between you and your discovery of the Kingdom.
We're also proud to be associated with the country's various community-owned tourism facilities...we know just how hard it is to run a business and we're humbled by the effort these rural folk put into their hospitality. Please join us in finding new ways of using tourism to put a fresh smile on the warm face of Africa."


Sri LankaFrom Athif, Chaminda, Tharindu and Yasenthi in Sri Lanka ....... "we are your local connection in Colombo. We are extremely passionate about Sri Lanka and want to use our extensive local knowledge so each and every holiday is truly amazing.

We are actively involved in the local community and have been privileged to help in building local schools and providing them with computers, assisting tsunami widows in earning a living, and running an oil mill where the profits go back into the community. We would like to share the real Sri Lanka with you!"


From Thang, Manh, Minh, and Lien in Sapa, Vietnam ...... "the team here has a deep Sapa Teampassion for everything in Sapa: mountains, forests, climate, and the town... But if you asked us what we like most, it would have to be the minority people of Sapa.

In Sapa there are 5 minority ethnic groups who are rich in culture: The Mong; the Dzao; the Dzay; the Tay and the Xa Pho. Each group has their own unique traditions and customs which have been kept over time. It is amazing to see them going to the weekly market in their newest colourful clothes. Any one who works in tourism is proud when talking about them."
