Sustainable Tourism.

Sustainable and Ethical Travel Tourism Association, an opportunity to make a positive impact on the world.

We're a movement of conscious tourism committed to making a positive impact wherever we go.

At SETTA, we believe in the transformative power of travel. It has the ability to open our minds, broaden our horizons, and connect us with the world in ways nothing else can. But with this privilege comes a responsibility – a responsibility to protect and preserve the very places we explore.

Our mission is simple yet profound: to promote sustainable and ethical tourism practices that not only benefit travelers, but also the destinations and the local communities.
