Together with Sernanp, ECA Amarakaeri co-manages the Amarakaeri Communal Reserve (RCA) on behalf of Harakbut, Yine and Matsiguenka native communities. They depend on the natural resources and landscape for tourism. However, because of the pandemic, tourism has been reduced and protected areas have suspended visits, affecting related communities as well.
With support from IUCN and Planeterra, Action Plans were developed in five communities, identifying objectives, goals and sustainable tourism activities that complement their economic activities. Activities included the following:
- Improve infrastructure for the provision of services.
- Strengthen the competencies of service providers.
- Consolidate commercial articulation.
- Optimize internal management to provide quality services.
- Promote the socio-cultural, economic and environmental sustainability of tourism.
- Restructure the tourism product for research profiles, conservation, congresses, students, etc.
