"After 6-7 graduating classes of 100 underprivileged young people (trained over one year), they have over 80% of them still employed in hospitality services - that's pretty good return. This helps, not only the students but has a ripple effect in the community. Connected to other services in a sustainable network is a growing example that you can enjoy travel yet make less of a negative impact on a place that is being affected by exploding tourism."
