Tourism is often a crucial resource in rural and underdeveloped destinations, where poverty is widespread and economic opportunities are scarce.
In many cases, it is the first productive activity to develop after natural disasters or conflict, serving as an engine for building essential infrastructure.
This industry not only creates jobs, but also promotes social inclusion by improving the economic and social conditions of local communities.
Under the heading Local Socio-Economic Development, we wanted to identify those projects implemented by Ecoluxury Retreats that have contributed to the creation of important infrastructure to improve education, vocational training, women's empowerment, health care, nutrition, sanitation and water supply in many remote locations.
These projects, often supported by specially created foundations, benefit from various forms of fundraising for their implementation.
With Ecoluxury, you can select at the booking stage which project to support and, once on site, see for yourself how your contribution is being used.
