It is important that the Child Protection Code is workable for every tour operator. That it suits the reputation and capacity of the organisation and that it does not take to much time and energy for the organization to implement it. For this reason ECPAT developed texts for: contract clauses, travel information leaflets, brochures in hotels and handbooks for tour guides/ tour managers. ECPAT can help to rewrite these texts to be fitted for each organization.

In this document examples are given of organisations who adopted the Code.

ECPAT provides trainings concerning sexual exploitation of children in tourism. Since travellers can be faced with child prostitution on certain destinations, it deserves recommendation that this subject is incorporated in the training programme of tour guides/ tour managers and hostesses. ECPAT the Netherlands has developed standard training material (available in Dutch, English, Spanish and German) with a guide for trainers.
