What are we concerned about?

In this fast-changing world, rural communities are affected by the limited economic opportunities in the village. Meanwhile, the forests they have to rely on to survive are also increasingly threatened by persistent logging activities. They are also in danger of losing their cultural identity as the younger generation are more reluctant to inherit knowledge from the elderly about cultural arts and practices, due to them embracing modernization.

Our Role as a Company

Backyard Tour realizes that there are many beautiful places in the rural areas. Combined with the unique culture and customs of the people, hidden historical sites, countless species of flora and fauna just waiting to be discovered, a lot of activities can be carried out. Backyard Tour works with villagers from different communities to develop one-of-a-kind experiences from the ground up and bring them to you in packages to choose from.

Empowerment through Tourism

Using tourism as a tool, we want to help rural communities become economically empowered and aware of the economic value of their forests and culture, so they don’t have to one day give up on their home, their culture, their forest,  and move to towns and cities.

How are we different?

Backyard Tour does more than just providing tours like most companies. We ensure our village partners are paid fairly while travelers get a satisfying, authentic tour experience. More than that, we run experience development training with the villagers and organize programs that can empower the villagers holistically. Ultimately, we aim to be one the leading travel experience company – one that stresses on community empowerment and preservation of culture and values.
