1 Summary Report: 3 rd International Travelers Philanthropy Conference July 20-23, 2011 ~ San Jose & Monteverde, Costa Rica We are pleased to share with you the highlights and outcomes of the 3 rd International Travelers Philanthropy Conference in Costa Rica, jointly organized and hosted by CREST and the Monteverde Institute. Costa Rica, widely hailed as a world leader in socially and environmentally responsible tourism, was an ideal venue for the first ever conference on travelers philanthropy in Latin America. CREST previously organized similar conferences in Arusha, Tanzania in 2008 and at Stanford University in The quality and diversity of participants and presentations at the Costa Rica conference exceeded the two earlier gatherings an indication, we believe, that travelers philanthropy initiatives are both growing in numbers and developing protocols and good practices to guide their operations. Travelers philanthropy is tourism businesses and travelers making concrete contributions of time, talent, and treasure to local projects beyond what is generated through the normal tourism business. - - CREST, Travelers Philanthropy Handbook, 2011 Group Photo, Closing Dinner Photo: William Durham One hundred and fifty delegates from some 20 countries including speakers from three long haul It was truly a wonderful gathering of eclectic destinations, Australia, Kenya, and Vietnam people, ideas and working models that attended the bilingual gathering. They included inspired and informed people from tourism business, NGOs, development - - Christina Tunnah, World Nomads agencies, philanthropic foundations, academia, and government agencies. Travelers Philanthropy Documentary The conference began on July 20 at the Ramada Herradura Hotel in San Jose, the first large urban hotel to earn top ranking 5 green leaves under Costa Rica s Certification for Sustainable Tourism (CST) program. During the afternoon, a panel of international experts presented a 5- hour Short Course on the nuts and bolts of travelers philanthropy. Topics included the origin and growth of travelers philanthropy; marketing, branding and communications; and the do s and don ts of travel giving. The lively, interactive session, attended by some 100 participants, concluded with the showing of CREST s travelers philanthropy documentary, Giving Time, Talent, and Treasure.
2 That evening s official opening a cocktail reception followed by a dinner featured Erika Harms, Executive Director of the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC) who was introduced by Costa Rica s former First Lady and member of Parliament, Margarita Penon. Both stressed the importance of travelers philanthropy as a central part of responsible tourism. Early the next morning, conference participants boarded buses for a 3 hour drive to the small mountain top community of Monteverde, renowned for its cloud forest reserves and small- scale nature based ecotourism. Monteverde has no airport or Keynote Speaker Erika chain hotels but receives some 150,000 visitors a year. Over the next three days, Harms conference attendees- - who were housed in some dozen local hotels - - shuttled by Photo: GSTC bus to workshops and plenary sessions at the three main meeting venues. I applaud you for taking on the logistical Among the featured speakers were Jane Crouch of challenge of holding this conference in Australian- based Intrepid Travel in Australia; Judy Monteverde, with the multiple locations. Kepher- Gona, CEO of Basecamp Foundation in Kenya; - - Keith Whittingham, Rollins College Toni Neubauer, President of Myths & Mountains; Chris Blackwell, founder of Island Records and owner of Island Outpost in Jamaica; Jimmy Pham, founder and CEO of KOTO, an NGO in Hanoi that trains street children to become chefs; and Kevin Salwen, author of The Power of Half which recounts his family s collective decision to sell their large house and contribute half its value to support rural community projects in Ghana. Speaker Jimmy Pham, KOTO Photo: KOTO Monteverde Cloud Forest Preserve Carbon Offset Reforestation Activity Photo: Jane Crouch Photo: Catherine Ardagh Speaker Jimmy Pham Photo: Jane Crouch The response from the attendees was overwhelmingly positive. The setting, the diversity of the speakers, & the creative spirit of the conference were all picked out for special praise. CREST & the Monteverde Institute pulled off the complex organization without a hitch. I expect some major outcomes to result from this superb conference. - - Andrew Bill, Siera Marketing Topics at the 18 different workshop topics ranged from discussions of ethical issues, why travelers become donors, pros and cons of voluntourism, and moving from charity models to sustainable development, to presentations on new technologies and consumer and industry demand for travelers philanthropy. A great job of pulling leaders from all over the world working in different industries - - Nicole Kluge, Institute at the Golden Gate 2
3 Also launched at the conference is the new Monteverde Travelers Philanthropy Initiative, an innovative effort to create a destination- wide travelers philanthropy fund supported collectively by tourism businesses and travelers. Led by the Monteverde Institute, the Initiative s first project is to raise funds to upgrade the local community center. Conference participants attended a cultural performance at the community center and helped kick off the drive with contributions totaling over $1500. Monteverde Initiative Community Center Launch Photo: Joe Staiano The conference closed with a live performance by Manuel Obregon, Costa Rica s Minister of Culture who is an internationally acclaimed pianist. Obregon performed his most famous piece Simbiosis", a piano piece that integrates rainforest sounds and video for an exquisite multimedia experience. Manuel Obregon Simbiosis Performance Photo: Jane Crouch The conference was very rich in its content and participants. It was remarkable to see the Vice- Minister of Tourism from República Dominicana, Erika Harms and Minister Manuel Obregón. - - Fernando Esquivel, RiosTropicales Next Steps: While there were widespread calls for more Travelers Philanthropy conferences, CREST is also considering offering more frequently its Short Course in a two- day format in various geographic regions.
