TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE + COMMUNITY TOURISM COLLABORATIVES
Foundational Technical Assistance
CTC - Community Stewardship
CTC - Regenerative Experiences
The Foundational Technical Assistance Program is the introductory and foundational capacity building program that will provide businesses and organizations with community workshops that are meant to lay foundation for growth and expansion both into and within the visitor industry throughout Hawaiʻi.
The Community Stewardship program is a cohort based initiative aiming to assist local nonprofits that care for ʻāina and wahi pana (sacred places) taxed by tourism by connecting them with the visitor industry, expert assistance, and increased ʻike (knowledge) to build their internal capacity.
The Regenerative Experiences program is a cohort based initiative that aims to expand Hawaiʻi’s regenerative visitor industry by working with local businesses and nonprofits to develop more culturally-based, sustainable experiences for visitors that support local communities.
