Planeterra announces 100th community tourism project

Project 100 has seen G and Planeterra partner with dozens of community tourism projects globally, as well as lead on a number of standalone enterprises.

All 100 projects will be available to visit on G’s tours next year and beyond.

The final 10 confirmed Project 100 efforts include partnerships with a Greek social enterprise that sells local produce to generate cash for homeless shelters and refugee organisations, and a women-owned cooperative in Oaxaca, Mexico, dedicated to preserving local Zapoteca culture through handicrafts.

Additionally, Planeterra has announced a new Home for the Holidays fundraising campaign to raise a further US $15,000 by the end of the year.

"Around the world, communities reliant on tourism have gone almost a year without income – funds typically used to uplift families, provide education to children and protect the environment," said the two partners.

"This money will be used to help with training and support as the projects prepare to welcome travellers back when tourism starts to return."
