We work with local communities to benefit from conservation and nature-based tourism, empowering women and youth to actively participate in the tourism industry.
We support the strengthening and formation of rural and community-based tourism businesses in Panama, in order to promote new sources of employment, value culture and contribute to the sustainability of Panama's natural resources.
COMMUNITY-BASED TOURISM
Adventure travel experiences based on the ownership and self-management of the natural and cultural resources of indigenous peoples, mestizo and Afro-descendant communities, with a focus on social commitment, respect for the environment and equitable distribution of benefits.
"Community-based tourism has become a strategic activity that contributes significantly to the integral development of Panama's tourism-oriented communities, creating equitable economic opportunities and supporting conservation strategies".
