Fundación Tropicalia has made great progress in the execution of the project “Inclusion of the Micro and Small Enterprise Sustainable Tourism Supply Chain in Miches” that it co-finances with the IDB / MIF. Among our accomplishments, we can cite the constitution of the Miches Cooperative of Production and Multiple Services (COOPROMI), formed by the community, for the community. Via COOPROMI, and with the support of our all-star team and project coordinator, farmers participating in the program have already begun commercialization of their products. To date, we’ve sold thousands of passion fruit, watermelon and coconut in Santo Domingo’s local farmer’s market, Merca SD.

Access to International Financing Promising for Fundación Tropicalia and Tropicalia
This month, Fundación Tropicalia received great news from the Multilateral Investment Fund (MIF) of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) – our innovative, socio-economic development project which will incorporate local businesses into Tropicalia’s supply chain, received the first of two approvals for funding. Having received “eligibility” status from an IDB commission based in Washington, D.C., technical teams from Fundación Tropicalia and the FOMIN can get to work on designing the minute details of the project and present it for final approval before the year’s end.
Sustainable tourism to empower communities
"To face the future, in regards to the ocean and as well as around the world, we must aim for sustainable development. Responsible tourism helps empower local communities by creating shared value".
