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.

We organised a trip with cancer survivors and their families to the hot springs at La Fortuna de San Carlos, promoting opportunities for recreation, rest, family bonding and holistic wellbeing. This experience helped to strengthen bonds, share meaningful moments and enjoy the therapeutic benefits offered by contact with nature and the hot springs.

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.
