The Bribri are one of the most underserved indigenous communities in Costa Rica. They reside in the canton of Talamanca, one of the regions with the lowest Human Development Index in Costa Rica<\/strong>, according to the 2023 Cantonal Human Development Index report by the University of Costa Rica and the Development Research and Observation Center. Tourism is viewed as a valuable opportunity to alleviate poverty by fostering economic growth within the community.<\/p>\n

The research project, \u201cEnhancing the Tourism Product of the Bribri Indigenous Community (Talamanca, Costa Rica) by Promoting Its Intangible Cultural Heritage”<\/strong>, is driven by participatory processes aimed at empowering the local population.. As a result of this project, the documentary El viaje de Tsir\u00fa<\/i><\/span><\/a><\/u><\/span>\u00a0(The Journey of Tsir\u00fa),<\/em> was released, where the leaders of local tourism initiatives share their worldview and highlight the cultural significance of cocoa (tsir\u00fa in the Bribri language).<\/p>\n
