SUSTAINABLE DESTINATIONS
AND FAIR TRADE
Community-based tourism is a different kind of tourism.
If you decide to get to know these experiences, you will support local communities in the jungle, the countryside and the coast to conserve the environment. In each community of the Alliance, the cooperatives are committed to taking care of the water, jungle, wetlands and biodiversity. A quality ecosystem is a guarantee of a unique experience.
Likewise, when you choose Community Tourism, the economic benefits go directly to the communities. The guides, cooks and experience leaders are all members of the cooperatives.
In addition, many of the products that you will be able to consume or purchase contribute to the economy of the community.
