TUNQUI FOUNDATION is the leading non-profit organization that leverages community-based tourism to change lives.
Tourism is an $8 trillion global industry, yet many businesses and local communities do not benefit from it. In some forms of tourism, $0 goes into the hands of local people. The TUNQUI FOUNDATION works to break this cycle by supporting and promoting community-based tourism. By strengthening community tourism worldwide, we create economic opportunities, protect destinations, and celebrate cultures through travel.
Together, we harness the power of travel to transform lives.
By collaborating with community tourism enterprises led by women, youth, indigenous, and rural communities, we ensure that the ripple effects of tourism are far-reaching and sustainable.
Through the Global Community Tourism Network, we provide businesses with essential training and support. By helping these enterprises thrive, they can reinvest in their economies, education, healthcare, and the environment.
We create a platform for peer-to-peer support among businesses while advocating for more travelers, travel companies, and destinations to prioritize community-based tourism.
