Member Bio
My name is Dr. Isa Byona. I am a medical doctor with a passion for community development on the grass root level. I am the Executive Director General and also a co-founder for Africa Sustainable Tourism Care Foundation a civil society organization (Non-Governmental Organization – NGO) that has been established with diverse and holistic approach to promote innovative sustainable tourism practices that are geared to alleviate poverty, empower local communities, fight gender inequality, encourage conservation of cultural and natural heritage and foster sustainable development through tourism.
We work directly with communities to understand the obstacles they face and provide solutions specific to their needs. These solutions provide jobs, community capacity building, conservation management, educational opportunities, and, ultimately, the ability for people to better their own lives.
