AETHNIC
Our mission
Aethnic’s mission is to contribute to fair sustainable development, aligned with human rights and promoting socio-ecological transition. We do this by carrying out projects, disseminating resources and strengthening the capacities of the various actors involved.
Our vision
It is necessary to initiate a paradigm shift in the traditional tourism model to ensure that it is committed to local culture and identities, global justice and the environment. We believe that tourism must contribute to the sustainable development of destinations by generating better living conditions for local populations, ensuring good coexistence between residents and visitors, and promoting a just socio-ecological transition.
Our values
Commitment, cooperation, responsibility and passion.
What we do?
International cooperation
Cooperation in development, work for global justice, gender equality and human rights are at the base of the mission and objectives of the Ethnic Association. We promote responsible and sustainable tourism (TRS) as a tool to improve people’s quality of life and the development of the local economy in impoverished areas.
local action
We work throughout the territory to influence and promote a community-based tourism model that favors and stimulates local development, social cohesion and environmental regeneration. With the ultimate aim of influencing the global model of tourism, its transformation towards the ODS, the impact on tourism policies and the awareness of citizens.
Technical advisory service
We support destinations and entrepreneurs in the creation of segmented and specialized tourist products, competitive in the market.
Production and design of responsible travel
Design and implement tourism proposals based on the criteria of sustainability and tourism responsibility that aim to strengthen local economies, value natural resources and make known the social reality of the destination country.
The team
Aethnic is made up of a team with interdisciplinary profiles with extensive expertise in sustainable and responsible tourism, circular economy and social innovation.
In general, the human team has an important background in the design, creation and marketing of tourist products and in the development of collaborative work frameworks through the dynamism of co-working sessions.
