INTRODUCTION

Karachi Welfare Citizen Organization is registered from Social Welfare Department Govt. of Sindh with Registration No.1860-K.

Welfare is a program that provides money, medical care, food, housing, and other things that people need in order to survive. People who can receive help from these welfare programs are children, elders, disabled, and others who cannot support their families on their current income. Another name for welfare is public assistance.

There are many organizations that supply this public assistance. Such as KARACHI WELFARE CITIZEN ORGANIZATION. Public assistance benefits help many people who live below the poverty line, an income level is established for families. If your income is below this you would be eligible to receive this help.

WELFARE RESPONSIBILITIES

It has long been recognized that the global tourism industry is fiercely competitive and dominated by transnational corporations, mainly based in developed countries. These organizations leverage power over the suppliers of the tourism product, potentially creating unequal exchange and power relationships. They are forced to compete through international mergers and acquisitions, and are able to survive on small margins because of substantial economies of scale. This results in continuous new product development and aggressive marketing through lower prices. The resulting instability of the sector makes it difficult for companies to plan for a more sustainable future, and ‘against such a background taking steps to behave more responsibly has traditionally received a predictably low priority’. At the same time, pressure on companies to take responsibility for the environmental and social damage that tourism can cause, and for the well-being of the tourists who pay its wages is growing, not just among community and lobby groups, but also within the wider public. Despite the difficulties, there is a general perception that companies have absorbed the message that they need to think more about the ethics of their actions, and that they are taking steps to behave more responsibly. This research probe offers some observations on the tourism industry’s response to the increasing awareness of the need for ethical practice and on the nature

of responsibility exhibited.

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITIES

The currently popular concept of corporate social responsibility (CSR) represents the objective of forging stronger connections between business and society and allowing companies to take a direct role in improving the business environment. It is claimed to be a This would appear ideally suited to benefit the welfare of tourism industry stakeholders. Certainly, acknowledgement of CSR and the perceived need to respond to ethical considerations are increasingly expressed in

tourism business practice. Yet there are important questions relating to the choice of social responsibilities that tourism businesses can sensibly undertake and the ways in which they can be measured and justified.

Some specialist operators are unhappy with such terms as ‘responsible’ and ‘ethical’, believing that the former can falsely raise expectations, while the latter may be vague and difficult to define. That CSR represents a recognition that tourism sustainability cannot be achieved unless corporate bodies take greater responsibility towards society in general. The World Travel and Tourism Council articulated the raison

d’être of CSR in tourism partly in terms of poverty alleviation and social equity, and this appears to be consonant with one of the other more recent fashionable marketing concepts, pro-poor tourism.

Corporate social responsibility is in danger of becoming just another fashion and a cynical means of conveying the impression that the corporate world willingly embraces ethical concern and acceptance of its moral responsibilities.
