Social Tourism for Cancer Survivors

Social Tourism for Cancer Survivors.

Quality of life

Costa Rica

During ISTO’s International Week, Funcavida and Funcaviajes organised a series of key initiatives that reaffirm our commitment to social tourism, health, wellbeing and inclusion.

At Capilla Ámbar - FEF, more than 40 cancer survivors took part in a day of Social Tourism for Health and Holistic Wellbeing, sharing therapeutic activities, moments of reflection, connection with nature and the planting of an acerola tree to mark World Environment Day. It was an experience filled with hope, strength and camaraderie.

These initiatives demonstrate how social tourism can become a tool for transformation, inclusion, emotional recovery, family strengthening and improved quality of life.

We would like to thank the Costa Rican Tourism Institute (ICT) for its support with transport, the Funcaferias Programme at Hospital México, Capilla Ámbar - FEF, Ecomusas and all the individuals and institutions that made these experiences possible.
