SUS-TOUR is a Switch Africa Green project implemented in Kenya jointly by Ecotourism Kenya (EK), Federation of Community Tourism Organizations (FECTO) and Collaborating Centre on Sustainable Consumption and Production (CSCP), Germany with funding from The EU through UNDP, UNOPS, and UNEP. The project's objective is the promotion of sustainable tourism in Kenya, focusing on CBTEs in Kenya to foster improvement in rural livelihoods and conservation of culture and the natural environment. This is being done through promoting customer-oriented innovation and improving market access for community-based tourism (CBT).

The 50 students from Kenyan Universities will be competitively selected for the training. Thereafter 5 students among the 50 will be identified to mentor select CBTOs using the toolkit as an internship. However, all trained students are expected to use the training to support a CBTO.
