The Dream That Brings Us Together
Village Monde promotes a journey to the heart of the planet, of encounters, respect and authenticity. Through its actions and commitments, the organization contributes to a viable planetary living together, rich in our differences, respectful of people and the ecosystems we inhabit.
Actions That Commit Us
More specifically, Village Monde promotes the growth of sustainable tourism in remote areas as a source of development, sovereignty and pride for communities, and a source of discovery, inspiration and change for travellers seeking to meet new people, experience authenticity and share experiences.
Partnership with Nomad's Land
Nomad's Land and Village Monde have been working together since 2017 to promote sustainable tourism in Kyrgyzstan. The partnership has resulted in the development of Kyrgyzstan as a destination of the Vaolo.com website, which in 2023 showcases 160 different homestays and tourism services in the country offered by local families.
