ISTO Africa.

ISTO opened a section for Africa in 2004.
ISTO Africa promotes social, sustainable and solidarity tourism on the African continent.
Joël Capo Chichi

”In the post health crisis world, we will have to move towards a society and therefore an economy of the common good. This unfortunate situation demonstrates once again that the status quo would lead us straight into the wall. After the pandemic, the imperative to strengthen the economy must not be at the expense of social and ecological issues. It requires economic, social and environmental realignment.

The achievement of sustainable and social tourism is a process that must have a multidisciplinary and multi-sectorial vision; to this end, the Sustainable & Social Tourism Summit, together with ISTO, developed the Diploma in Training of Professionals in Sustainable and Social Tourism, to consolidate training and cooperation between specialists in the sector, within the framework of the Integrated Management of the Reef Watershed (MAR2R) project.
