<p><b>TEN stands for Third World Tourism Ecumenical European Net. </b>It is a network of development agencies, aid agencies, church groups, solidarity groups and individuals who are active in the field of tourism and the effects it has on the people of the Third World. This working group understands Third World tourism within the context of the North-South-conflict and denounces and fights unjust practices in tourism.</p>
<p>TEN acts as a partner to the Ecumenical Coalition on Third World Tourism (ECTWT) as well as to other issue-oriented nets.</p>
<p>Members of TEN try to</p>
<ul>
<li>raise consciousness and awareness on the effects of tourism to the people in the receiving countries of the Third World. Those effects should be researched and discussed from a development point of view. Similar problems within European tourism may also be considered in the endeavour towards more just societies.
<li>to support all attitudes which avoid the "touristic consumption" of other peoples, countries and cultures or which help to create equal relations among peoples of different countries.
<li>to encourage all means which increase the positive aspects within tourism and to fight all its negative aspects: That means tourism has to be measured by the criteria of contributing to building just, participatory and sustainable societies. TEN should look for cooperation with the tourism industry and with partners at all levels within the receiving countries.
</ul>
