UNDP Global Accelerator Lab


In many destinations, tourism tends to be “all inclusive”: tourists pay an
international tour operator, which captures most of the profit before it
reaches the destination countries. Many hotels are themselves owned by
multinational chains. The UNDP Accelerator Labs are working on connecting and
structuring local businesses so that they can compete with these operators,
keeping a larger part of the value in the destination country.
As well as bona fide innovations, this board includes many examples of local businesses providing high-quality or authentic tourism services. Their creativity and pervasiveness signal that community-based tourism is, in many places, more viable than one might think.
