Our
work
Planeterra is an organization born in Toronto, Canada, but rooted everywhere. We are committed to breaking down the barriers community tourism enterprises face, by giving our partners practical training at their fingertips, support, mentorship, and a connection to the tourism industry.
Our Strategic Partners
We partner with community based tourism enterprises themselves, as well as strategic partners, who help us grow our impact in a number of ways. Some are subject matter experts, who help grow our training resources, while others help Planeterra to reach rural communities without access to the Internet.
