´Honoring the efforts of 169 Convention about Indigenous and Tribal people, where the main objective is: the respect and rights of the control of their own institutions, lifestyle, economic developments, strength  the identity and religion[1], we build  a project  where innovate and diversify tourism services through  real experiences and respect in our ethnic communities.

How can we define ethno-tourism?

Those activities that are linked with travelling, where the tourist participate actively and is involved a¨ town¨ or ¨race¨ that articulates  elements of cultural history value, convictions and  daily activities that represent them (Guevara, 2012).

What elements are included on this type of tourism?

Background of Ethnotourism.org:
The project born with a Thesis that I wrote when I was finishing my degree on Sustainable Tourism Management on the University for the International Cooperation, the reason that I develop this topic was because it was not  many information about that activities and for me represent a great opportunity on  develop  that topic that can be useful  as an alternative, sustainable tourism product not only in Costa Rica, also in other countries with a rich culture background.

Ethntotourism.org started on September 2015 where  we began to build a website that includes general information about this topic, and a map where  is identify ethnic destinations and what they offers, not only in Costa Rica, we are working to include more destination in Latin America  and make a network of  tourism entrepreneurship  on ethnic communities.
