ISTO Africa.

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

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.

ISTO members in the Americas worked together with its Board on the "ISTO Americas Action Plan 2019 - 2021". A discussion by members in groups, and subsequently shared in plenary, on four main areas including: membership; training; ISTO events and social, economic, cultural and environmental indicators will guide the work of this section.

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.
