Planeterra launches 2nd round of Global Community Tourism Fund

Friday, March 31, 2023

Planeterra has opened the second round of its Global Community Tourism Fund, an initiative that encourages entrepreneurship and innovation in community tourism businesses throughout the world.

Planeterra’s fund gives grants of up to $3,000, as well as community-specific training and coaching, to assist businesses and communities in scaling up and improving current experiences.

The initiative’s goal is to provide possibilities for locals to gain from tourism.

“Many communities have nowhere to turn to access capital or recovery support to help them be more competitive in the tourism market,” said Evie Ndhlovu, manager of Global Community Tourism Network.
“Through the fund, we help support enterprises to reopen safely, make more positive impacts, and provide unique tourism experiences.”

To apply, community tourism firms must be authorised members of the Global Community Tourism Network, a non-profit support network.

Planeterra is the leading non-profit using community tourism to change lives.
