Fundación Tropicalia’s supply-chain initiative is supported by the Inter-American Development Bank’s Multilateral Investment Fund. The program, launched in 2013, seeks to improve market access for entrepreneurs and agricultural producers in Miches; create an inclusive business model linked to tourism; and support sustainable business practices in the region.

“We’re grateful to the UNWTO for honoring Fundación Tropicalia’s work with its host community of Miches,” said Adriana Cisneros, Chief Executive Officer of Cisneros. “Since 2008, our goal has been to support the community’s socioeconomic development and prosperity, and to position Miches as a model for sustainable tourism worldwide.”

William Phelan, President of Fundación Tropicalia, and Sofia Perazzo, Executive Director, accepted the award at a gala held on Jan. 19, 2017. “Through education, training and community involvement, we believe Miches can thrive as a tourism destination while protecting the natural beauty, resources and culture that make it unique,” Ms. Perazzo said.
