Chile Heritage Preservation Program

Chile Heritage Preservation Program

The Chile Heritage Preservation Program is an initiative by Southbound DMC aimed at protecting and celebrating the rich cultural heritage of Chile’s indigenous communities.. The program aims at promoting tourism through sustainable means while protecting the local customs, traditions, and religious shrines for posterity.

With this, Southbound works with local artists and cultural representatives in offering workshops and experiences to tourists. These workshops delve into music, crafts, and storytelling, and allow visitors to interact with the culture of the indigenous people of Chile. Participating in these workshops doesn’t only allow travelers to appreciate the ancient culture but also helps in its preservation.

One important aspect of the Chile Heritage Preservation Program is protecting the sacred sites. Southbound works with Indigenous tribes in recognizing and preserving important cultural and religious sites. Appropriate funding is made available so that these sites are always treated with respect and are not abused and only used as locals want them to be used. There are also guidelines that look after the proper relations and exchanges that tourists have with the sites.

The program also highlights economic empowerment as one of the key features. Southbound seeks to promote indigenous businesses by prioritizing the purchase of goods and services from artisans and small vendors. This assists both in the promotion of local economies and fair wages for their work. In addition, the program encourages travelers to buy local handmade crafts which empowers the people and preserves the ways of life that would otherwise be lost.

The Chile Heritage Preservation Program challenges the conventional feeling that tourism has to be merely an extractive process and portrays a more compelling narrative: If appropriate tourism exists, it can become a tool for good, enabling the meeting of individuals from different parts of the globe and aiding in developing respect and peace. Fulfilling heritage preservation while advocating for sustainable travel is what Southbound DMC is achieving as a measure of tourism in chile and elsewhere.
