Community Tourism
in Asia-Pacific
Across Asia and the Pacific, communities are welcoming visitors through experiences that celebrate culture, protect biodiversity, and strengthen local livelihoods. Home to thousands of islands, mountain communities, and Indigenous cultures, the region offers enormous opportunity for Community Tourism to build on local strengths while protecting heritage for future generations.
Every destination is different, but the goal is the same: tourism that reflects what communities want for themselves.
