Community based tourism

Mais Sertão Mais Vida came up with the idea of boosting tourism in Betânia do Piauí and nearby regions. But not only that, it came up with the intention of generating income for the partners involved and from that contribute even more to a transformed hinterland.

This is how we started the Mais Sertão Mais Vida project, aimed at Community Based Tourism, where the community is the protagonist, providing services in the area of food, being a local driver or working with handicrafts. Our wish is that each visitor is impacted by the beauties of the hinterland, the richness of each conversation, the tastes and flavors of each food.

We believe that the Sertão is being transformed and we want to participate in this mission, taking the creation and beauties of a sertão that many have not yet seen!

What is community-based tourism?

It is the type of tourism in which the community organizes and provides services for visitors, such as:
- work as a group leader,
- take you to see the farm,
- offer accommodation,
- food,
- crafts and etc.

What are the benefits?

- The community is valued
- Help with local development
- Brings economic benefits, generating income
- Values local residents
- and can even prepare the community for other possible economic activities.

The Mais Sertão Mais Vida project welcomes people interested in experiencing the local culture for 5 days, sampling the gastronomy, local riches, fauna and flora, as well as the ways of knowing and doing of the sertanejo people.

Depoimentos de Participantes

I came from the USA, Texas, and I have the privilege of being the first American to visit rural communities here in Betânia do Piauí, PI. I've been here for four days and have definitely had an incredible experience, witnessing the welcoming people, the exotic culture, and the friendly hospitality. I've been to 68 countries, and the best part is definitely the food, which is delicious here. I might be returning to the USA feeling a little older. I can't wait to go back, and I encourage you to come and visit Piauí.

It's a great joy to be participating in and developing this project. During this time, I've been working diligently to bring the project's objectives to fruition. I believe this project will bring even more possibilities to the backlands communities, contributing to personal, professional, and emotional development. I hope this project impacts many lives, and that the Northeastern backlands become known from a new perspective.

I found it incredible to meet new people, welcome tourists here in our backlands, and be able to exchange experiences, show how we live here, our culture, our Northeast, the beauty of our land. Well, I loved it so much and I'm already looking forward to more people coming to visit us and taking a little piece of our backlands home with them.
