09:00 Our neighbours

Tourism that belongs to the village.

Community centred tourism is at the heart of Nyore. We practise and promote sustainability and cultural immersion.

10:30 How we work

Three promises to the people around us.

A Nyore host helps arriving guests with their luggage through the flowering garden.

One

Work with the community

We employ and collaborate with local people, and keep an open dialogue with them.

Two

Respect tradition

We respect traditional cultures, and care for the environment the hill depends on.

Guests walk along a timber-railed garden path beside thatched buildings at Nyore.

Three

Prepare each other

We tell our neighbours what to expect from visitors, and tell visitors what to expect here. It builds trust and respect on both sides.

“Community based tourism aims to contribute to productivity by creating employment and consequently improving the livelihood and well-being of local people whilst being exposed to learning and being open-minded about other cultures.”
