We are a passionate team of experienced tourism professionals with our expertise in the field of responsible tourism for over two decades. The seed of this foundation was sowed to grow into a beautiful tree that protects and conserves the nature and our cultural heritage. We aspire to empower and uplift the local community and imbibe the meaningful benefits of eco and responsible tourism right from the grass root level.
We strongly believe that responsible tourism can provide a driving force to change lives and it is one of the best tools to create positive economic, social and environmental impacts throughout the globe.
Our mission is to empower the local community and ignite within them a feeling of pride and respect for their natural and cultural heritage.. We intend to create awareness, educate the young minds beyond the four walls of classrooms and to instill amongst them an ethereal love for Mother Earth. Supporting projects related to eco tourism, training of local community at grassroots level and raising voice where the negative impact of tourism puts our nature and culture in danger are some of the goals of Odisha Eco Tourism Foundations.
