Outstanding local initiatives - Indian Ocean Travel

Remarkable local initiatives in the countries of the Indian Ocean in education, health, food, preservation of fauna and flora, responsible tourism

LOCAL INITIATIVES IN THE Indian Ocean

The Indian Ocean is a contradiction: there are superb environments, treasures of biodiversity still preserved, resources and mineral wealth, an extraordinary youth dynamic which opposes a still very present poverty, unbearable inequalities.

The observation is severe, but if we want to look beyond, we find remarkable initiatives in all sectors: health, education, food, research, innovations and responsible tourism.

See this point of view we adopt in the following section.
