About Us

Eco-Tourism Hub is a non-governmental organization at the intersection of climate action, sustainable tourism, and community development. Our mission is to empower students and young people to drive innovative, climate-resilient tourism solutions through capacity-building, advocacy, and hands-on experiences..
Founded in 2023, we envision a resilient and sustainable future, where tourism serves as a tool for environmental protection, cultural preservation, and economic growth. We bridge the gap between youth and environmental action by integrating eco-tourism, climate innovation, and community engagement into our programs.
