Our Mission

Tourism in the Minca area has increased rapidly in recent years and unplanned tourism development presents significant challenges for local communities and the natural environment. Our mission as a student group is to support capacity for Misión Gaia’s Solidarity Tourism Initiative through performing a full tourism assessment and SWOT analyses on the community during our 3 week trip in January 2014. Our ultimate goal is to design lasting strategies, including guidelines and action plans that aim to empower the local community through environmentally and socially conscious tourism development.
