A score of islanders families are working on the second section of the Paraná’s Delta. This project of local development takes TOURISM like as a tool and tries to improve the islanders' quality of life, to give them a worthy and stable job, to overcome the seasonal condition and to offer tourist services of excellence, that satisfy the tourist on one hand and serve to stop the young islanders' exodus to the continent on the other.
Delta Sanfernandino is located inside the Biosphere's Reserve, and it’s the ideal frame for these journeys of solidary, responsible tourism ... tourism with value.
The journeys are solidary, solidary with islanders’ families that welcome us, that produce the foods we’ll eat, that provide the tourist services we’ll enjoy, and that make the craftworks we’ll see ... and that at the same time are responsible, responsible with the environment.
The INTA, the San Fernando's Municipality and the Culture’s Direction of the Pcia of Buenos Aires offer their support to this initiative.
The INTA's program of RURAL CHANGE cooperates with these small agricultural producers in the search of alternatives that allow them to overcome the crisis that affects the sector.
In essence, it looks out for them to introduce on a sustainable development process, in the context of new economical data, encouraging the regional development from within the sector through job generation and of larger net incomes.
In Delta Sanfernandino, this Program succeeded in a byproduct on network of this community: The solidary journeys. Then while some open the palisades to teach the tourists how to follow out the farm work, orchard, wicker or poplar productions, others display the craftworks manufactured with waste material that the Delta provides, like seeds, pine needle, some rods of rush or trees. With the poplar or privet’s bark they design centerpieces, organizers and baskets, that between other products integrate the solidary offer. |
