Get down with the locals! For travellers that desire an authentic experience while also contributing to a local community, Gunyah Community-Based tourism experiences provide the opportunity for travellers to engage with locals and learn about a destination while travelling responsibly.
Community themed packages connect travellers with the local people and culture through community-based tourism, with initiatives that improve or empower the local community, create jobs, and/or provide income for the local community to alleviate poverty.
Our Gunyah Community-Based Experiences include initiatives such as volunteerism, visiting local schools/orphanages, micro-finance tours, or home stays. We provide an experience that contributes to the people of the destination – evoking a win-win situation for the travellers and locals.
