Protecting children in travel destinations

"Two heads are better than one"

20 Years of Partnership with Terre des Hommes – AERTiCKET Doubles Donations: For two decades, the AERTiCKET Group has been working with the children's rights organization Terre des Hommes to combat the sexual exploitation of children in travel destinations.

Your customers can also support this commitment by donating one euro per passenger when booking flights through Cockpit Booking World. In this anniversary year, AERTiCKET will double every euro donated – so your donation will have twice the impact. Join us!

Together against sexual exploitation 

Child abuse is a crime worldwide – not only at home, but also while traveling and on vacation. Nevertheless, children and young people are forced into prostitution: hardship and poverty often leave families with little other choice.

In Southeast Asia, Terre des Hommes supports direct aid for girls and boys as well as programs for the prevention of sexual exploitation.

Project examples

With the support of travelers, travel agencies, and the AERTiCKET Group, projects worldwide addressing this important issue are being promoted. The following projects in Thailand, the Philippines, and Cambodia exemplify the diverse activities undertaken for the affected children and young people:

Although prostitution is officially banned in Cambodia, the trade in "human goods" is widespread, and large cities like Phnom Penh attract sex tourists and pedophiles.

In collaboration with its local partner organization APLE, based in Phnom Penh, Terre des Hommes is committed to combating human trafficking and the sexual exploitation of children and young people, both online and offline. The affected children receive not only legal support but also comprehensive care. Additionally, the project offers the opportunity to complete vocational training to find a sustainable way out of prostitution.

Planned project duration: June 2024 to May 2026
