🫶 At GLP Films, we are committed to raising awareness about accessible travel options. We recognize the importance of inclusive tourism and believe everyone deserves the opportunity to experience the most awe-inspiring corners of the world. Travel inspires individuals and encourages them to pursue their passions for preserving our planet. 🤝 Thankfully, the travel industry is increasingly recognizing the demand for accessible travel options and is improving services for disabled travelers. While we are encouraged that this long-overlooked sector is gaining the mainstream recognition and the attention it deserves, we also acknowledge that significant work remains to be done. 🌍 The need to offer more inclusive, sustainable, and accessible travel is more important than ever before. You can read the full article about meeting the increasing demand for accessible travel amenities and how our upcoming campaign with the Oregon Coast Visitors Association will highlight what they are implementing to make travel along the coast more accessible here ➡️ https://lnkd.in/gC3JmkZ2 #accessibletravel #sustainabletravel #oregoncoast #travelability #inclusivetourism Nicole Melancon

🌍 Transforming Tourism Through Community-Led Initiatives 🌍 #CommunityTourism - where local communities take the reins in crafting, managing, and benefiting from their own tourism experiences - is key to sustainable travel. This model isn’t just about visiting a place; it’s about immersing in it, understanding it, and contributing to its growth. ✨ Why Community Tourism Matters: 💸 Economic Benefits: Local economies thrive as tourism dollars stay within the community, supporting local businesses and creating job opportunities. ✊🏼 Empowerment: Communities gain control and decision-making power, leading to increased self-sufficiency and resilience. 📜 Cultural Preservation: Travelers experience real cultural exchanges, while communities preserve and celebrate their traditions, customs, and heritage. 🌱 Environmental Preservation: With a vested interest in protecting their surroundings, communities can promote sustainable practices and conservation efforts. 🪢 Connection: Deep, meaningful interactions between travelers and locals foster mutual respect and understanding, creating lasting memories for both sides. For community tourism to be truly effective, it must be community-driven and led. This means local people are at the heart of the experience, from hosting travelers to showcasing their culture and traditions. When done right, community tourism creates a win-win scenario: it uplifts and empowers local communities while offering travelers enriching and transformative experiences. 🌟 Let’s champion community-led tourism and make every journey count!

GLP Films’ Content Editor, Nicole Melancon, recently spent an incredible, inspiring week in #Nepal with Community Homestay Network (CHN) as part of #CommunityConnectNepal learning about the transformative power of community tourism. At GLP Films and CHN, we believe #communitytourism can help pave the way forward for tourism in a more sustainable, responsible, and equitable way. Community tourism is a sustainable tourism model in which tourism experiences are developed, owned, and managed by local communities, allowing them to directly benefit from tourism. If implemented correctly, community tourism has the transformative power to uplift communities and inspire travelers as well. It can be a win-win situation. The socio-economic impact of this type of tourism has the potential to transform the lives and overall well-being of the participants and community as a whole. For the traveler, community tourism experiences afford a deeper, more meaningful experience and connection with locals, creating lasting memories. Some key benefits of Community Tourism include: 💸 Socio-Economic empowerment 🇳🇵 Cultural preservation 🌱 Environmental Conservation 🪢 Building cross-cultural connection Read about Nicole’s exhilarating journey mountain biking down the foothills of the Himalayas to the ancient city of Panauti where she spent two days as a guest of Shila Amatya, the pioneer of the Community Homestay Network that has spread to 36 communities throughout Nepal changing lives, including her own.

🍿 We are thrilled to share our second film made in partnership with Fundação de Turismo de Mato Grosso do Sul for a noteworthy campaign to help reposition Bonito and the Pantanal as leading sustainable tourism destinations. 🦜 In this film, we showcase #Bonito - a magical place in the southern state of Brazil's Mato Grosso do Sul where nature's beauty unfolds in every corner. Bonito is a well-known ecotourism and nature-based travel leader due to its long-standing history of protecting and preserving natural landscapes, flora, fauna, rivers, estuaries, lakes, and waterfalls. It has become a popular tourism destination for travelers wanting to immerse themselves in nature and minimize environmental impact. 🌺 Discover why Bonito is an incredible destination for nature enthusiasts and #adventure seekers who want to experience slow, sustainable travel.

Are you a nonprofit or foundation looking to share your stories of success about #conservation, #communityaction, #stewardship, or #sustainability in a powerful, inspiring, and impactful way? Partner with GLP Films and let us help you! 🎥 Video storytelling is a powerful tool that helps bring a story to life. The #storytelling format is innately understood by a viewer or listener. It is #accessible. And ultimately, incredibly shareable which makes it a valuable asset for any strategic communications plan. Through a combination of stunning visuals, character-driven voices, and underlying themes, visual storytelling can be used to create a compelling story behind a complex, data-driven report in an easy-to-understand, powerful way that will educate, inspire, and promote action. A project’s impact comes to life following the model of “show me, don’t tell me.” Our film for the Margaret A. Cargill Philanthropies (MACP) - 'Community-led Conservation in the Maya Biosphere Reserve' - is a powerful example of using visual storytelling to convey complex research-backed reports through our new “Video Impact Report” product.
