1. Tajik Community-Based Tourism Association (TCBTA)

The TCBTA seeks to improve the livelihood of Tajik citizens working in community-based tourism (CBT). CBT is a form of ecotourism, where local entrepreneurs are able to autonomously develop tourism services, and retain the income they earn. The TCBTA aims to improve lives within the CBT sector by creating new jobs, increasing women's participation, and developing programs to familiarize tourists with Tajik life and culture. The TCBTA seeks a communications intern to increase awareness and outreach for the CBT industry.
