The Integrated Development and Conservation in the Bolivian Amazon
October 2014
Solimar promoted community-level impact by enhancing access to productive tourism opportunities linked to the conservation and sustainable use of the biodiversity of the Bolivian Amazon. These tourism opportunities helped to spur economic growth and increase incomes of local and indigenous communities and producer groups. Solimar also helped to strengthen and improve community-based tourism enterprises primarily in the Northern La Paz and Southern Beni regions, specifically in the municipalities of Rurrenabaque and San Buena Ventura, by providing technical assistance and building capacity in a number of key tourism- and conservation-related activities.
