COMMUNITY TOURISM

Community-based tourism is the difference between seeing and living. Not only will you get the most out of your travels and experience something truly exceptional, you will help support indigenous communities and ecological sustainability.

​

Community Based Tourism features three main components:

Indigenous leadership, Sustainability, and Cultural Immersion

​

Indigenous Leadership

Through community-based travel, collective wellbeing is valued over corporate or individual profit. Communities reap the benefits from tourism revenue, as opposed to large travel organizations, which often do not work in solidarity with the communities and environments they use.

​

Sustainability

Communities accommodate their visitors while respecting the long-term sustainability of their resources. Meals come from local sources and communities will only accommodate the number of guests their physical resources can support.

​

Cultural Immersion

Increased awareness and knowledge of different cultures will give visitors new perspective and a unique traveling experience. Community tourism offers the opportunity to get hands-on experience with another culture, including cuisine, rituals, traditions, and folklore.
