About the company

Tourism is a global industry, but many local businesses and communities do not benefit from it. There are some forms of tourism where no money reaches the hands of local people. Planeterra works to break this cycle by supporting and uplifting community tourism. By strengthening community tourism around the world, economic opportunities are created, places are protected, and cultures are celebrated through travel.

With Planeterra's Global Community Tourism Network, we are providing enterprises with access to much-needed training and support. By helping these enterprises thrive, they can then invest in their economies, education, healthcare, and the environment.
