Cultour - Travel Panama and make real encounters with history and people

The name Cultour is the fusion of "culture" and "tourism" and our activities focus on eco- and cultural tourism, local communities and sustainable development. Since our establishment we organize trips and tours for domestic and international tourists in Panama. Simultaneously we work on nature and cultural tourism projects where we apply a participatory approach with local communities. Together we identify attractive visitor experiences, plan comprehensive product portfolios following thematic interpretation methodology and design distribution channels so that tourism income gets sustainable for communities and environment. Our experience and belief is that tourism needs the participation of private enterprise, the (local) government and communities, for this reason we establish partnerships between the community, local government, authorities, companies and NGOs in order to successfully implement projects. We consult and manage projects in community development and corporate social responsibility in areas of local economic development, tourism and culture where we contribute a global vision, best practices, local and international experience and knowledge of local conditions in Panama and Central America.
