ISTO
The International Social Tourism Organisation (ISTO), created in 1963 in Brussels (Belgium), brings together the actors of social, sustainable and solidarity tourism throughout the world. In 1994, ISTO created its section for the Americas in Montreal (Canada), giving it responsibility for the promotion and development of responsible and sustainable tourism for all in South America, Central America, the Caribbean and North America. The Encuentro de las Américas de Turismo Social, the biannual meeting of ISTO's regional members, thus becomes an opportunity to “exalt the union and diversity that characterise our territory; one that is united by its physiognomy and also by its spirit and warmth; and that although they spread and go in different directions, they share their origin and seek to achieve the same purposes”.
