We've built a new website for Ashanti African Tours Foundation and it is now live! Mark Wright, MD of The Adventure Connection said: "When I saw for myself the incredible work that the Ashanti African Tours Foundation has done over the years, The Adventure Connection decided to take the unprecedented move to make a donation to the foundation by way of building a website for them to demonstrate their conservation, community and education projects. This is the best example of a DMC 'giving back' I have ever seen and, without even realising it, a perfect way to show how the United Nations' SDGs can be implemented by DMCs."
