Tourism in Colombia is one of the most important activities that contribute to the development and economic growth of the country, generating more employment and opportunities for the entire community.
Times have changed and visitors are demanding other types of tourism compared to the traditional one. For some years now, sustainable or ecological tourism has been implemented, which gives tourists the opportunity to live a 100% local experience in a rural environment, where they can connect with nature and the customs of the region.
On the other hand, people from rural areas have been migrating to large cities with the aim of seeking better opportunities to improve their quality of life. As a result of the latter, many entrepreneurs have seen the need to help create opportunities to prevent people from rural areas from leaving their homes and their way of life.
Given this situation, a great idea has arisen to integrate rural experience with business knowledge, in order to potentiate the development of ventures that allow sustainable business models over time.
