The future of the Caribbean is intimately linked
to our ability to preserve our environment and treasure our ecology
and heritage. The Sustainable Communities Foundation through Tourism
[SCF] promotes a programme of Sustainable Community Tourism Development
[SCTD], in collaboration with a range of stakeholders, that emphasises
ecological impacts and focuses on the communities of the Caribbean
with a demonstration project in central and south-west region
of Jamaica. The programme revolves around three (3) central themes:
ecology, community and tourism, uniting the concepts of social
development and ecological sustainability.
Mission of SCF
To create an effective process to empower communities
to be an integral part of the tourism process by providing a mechanism
by which they can prepare themselves according to the philosophy
of sustainable development and to allow them to realise their
visions in their own environment.
