The submitted projects will be evaluated by the association according to a predefined set of criteria.<\/p><\/div>

Ecomapu Travel relies on local providers<\/strong><\/p>

Since 2015, Ecomapu Travel coordinates a community-based tourism model in Valpara\u00edso, Chile. The tour operator brings together local host families, guides and other providers with travelers as well as public institutions.<\/p>

The starting point was the joint development of the \u201cRuta La Matriz\u201d in socially disadvantaged areas, or areas of the city\u2019s UNESCO World Heritage site that have so far been little involved in tourism. According to Ecomapu Travel, around 7,000 travelers participate annually in eleven small-group experiences.<\/p>

The network comprises five host families, 14 guides and more than 20 local providers. According to the application, around $80,000 of visitors’ expenditures remain locally through direct payments on site. The residents are also involved in decisions about routes, stories, prices and new activities. Four stakeholder meetings take place per year.<\/p><\/div>
