Empowering Local Communities

Tourism has the potential to be a powerful tool for community development, but its benefits often bypass local populations. Certifications encourage businesses to engage with and support nearby communities through responsible employment, fair wages, and cultural sensitivity. By involving local communities in the tourism experience, businesses can create authentic and enriching interactions for visitors while also boosting the economic prosperity of those who call these places home.
