Rural community assets include ecosystems that can become excellent platforms for learning and the promotion of responsible tourism. Ecotouridm Enterprise Development is a tool to achieve natural resource conservation goals, as well as improve socio-economic well-being of local residents. Trainer Louie Mencias developed community guide training programs to address the need to make marginalized sector of the community active participants and beneficiaries of tourism-related community development projects. The Buhay Program features capacity-building modules that target fisherfolks, farmers, housewives, out-of-school youth, and indigenous people. They are trained to be guides in their own community. The training programs were designed to match the type of ecosystems in their sites. Providing this opportunity creates an economic incentive for communities to protect their natural and cultural heritage. For more information about these trainings, send us an email. here.
