Solidarity tourism in Madagascar : in the heart of the Highlands, the village of Anjazafotsy perfectly illustrates the beauty, resilience and solidarity that characterize Malagasy rural life. Located in the Betafo region, this green haven welcomes visitors in an authentic setting where every everyday gesture reflects a deep respect for nature and traditions. Thanks to the action of the Association Accueil Villageois Malagasy en Action (AAVIMA), Anjazafotsy has become much more than a simple place of passage: it is a living symbol of sustainable community development.
AAVIMA deploys concrete initiatives that combine autonomy, education and preservation of resources. The association works to strengthen the capacity of villagers to generate their own income through sustainable agriculture and local crafts. Visitors can discover the process of growing rice, participate in weaving workshops or exchange with locals about their ancestral customs. These participatory experiences make Anjazafotsy an exemplary destination for responsible tourism, where humans and nature come together in a harmonious dynamic.
Tour Malin Madagascar is fully involved in these solidarity projects, supporting local initiatives and promoting communities through networking, training and the promotion of fair tourism products. Our collaboration with AAVIMA is part of a long-term approach: promoting community tourism based on sustainability, transparency and respect for local populations. Together, we help preserve cultural and environmental wealth while supporting the economic autonomy of residents.
The actions carried out in Anjazafotsy demonstrate that another travel model is possible; a model where cEach visit becomes an act of solidarity and each smile a sincere exchange. the solidarity tourism in Madagascar is not just a concept: it is a reality experienced on a daily basis in this exemplary village, which inspires and gives meaning to the very idea of discovery.
