Through the fund, Planeterra provides grants of up to $3,000, as well as community specific training and mentorship to help entrepreneurs and communities scale up and improve existing experiences.
The aim of the initiative is to create opportunities for local people to reap the benefits of tourism.
"Many communities have nowhere to turn to access capital or recovery support to help them be more competitive in the tourism market," said Evie Ndhlovu, manager of Global Community Tourism Network.
"Through the fund, we help support enterprises to reopen safely, make more positive impacts, and provide unique tourism experiences."
To apply, community tourism enterprises must be approved members of the Global Community Tourism Network, a free-of-charge supportive group of organisations.
