Social Innovation
Individuals who transform their awareness will inspire changes in lifestyle, values, and beliefs, moving toward happiness and regeneration. They will seek to engage and create values that align with their inner transformation; at the same time, they need to connect as a community to initiate ventures, business models, and organizations grounded in social welfare and natural regeneration values.
These new individuals will require new business models, new ways of governance, and new operational methods to create the necessary changes. Social enterprises and purpose-driven work serve as bridges between inner transformation and social impact, turning personal growth into organized, impactful action.
These new enterprises embody sustainable values and aim for the well-being of both people and nature. We pioneer this movement through XomTour, a social enterprise dedicated to promoting conscious and responsible tourism. Following the principles of community-based tourism, XomTour strives to make tourism more sustainable and beneficial for both people and the land

It doesn’t make them rely entirely on tourism, but tourism act as an additional support for their sustainable livelihood.
