In a global context where the impacts of mass tourism are increasingly criticized, The rise of sustainable tourism is a concrete and responsible response. At the heart of this transition, cooperation between local stakeholders appears to be one of the most essential pillars. It is this shared vision that the NGO SAHA TELO carries, by promoting collective dynamics rooted in Malagasy territories.

Sustainable tourism, it’s not just about traveling differently, it also means producing differently, consume differently and decide differently. It is based on the three inseparable pillars of sustainable development : environmental protection, to social justice, and economic viability. For a tourism project to be truly sustainable, it must benefit the local population, preserve ecosystems and guarantee fair profitability.

SAHA TELO works to build strong links between community stakeholders, project leaders, tourist operators and institutions. Through training, participatory diagnostics, technical support and the organization of multi-stakeholder workshops, the NGO plays a role of facilitator of local synergies. It creates the conditions for constructive dialogue and shared governance, essential to any lasting initiative.

But beyond field projects, SAHA TELO campaigns for the establishment of an inclusive digital platform.

Objective : centralize good practices, document feedback, and encourage the spread of innovative solutions throughout the country. This platform would be a strategic popularization tool to accelerate collective awareness around sustainable tourism and strengthen the action capacities of rural stakeholders..

In a country with exceptional biodiversity and unique cultural wealth like Madagascar, each territory can become a model of sustainable tourism, provided that local actors are truly involved and supported. SAHA TELO embodies this ambition : make tourism a lever of emancipation, resilience and societal transformation.
