Discover SHF through a student-led campus tour
Sharing is key at the Sumba Hospitality Foundation.
Want to find out more about the Sumba Hospitality Foundation but don’t have much time? Take part in a student-led campus tour.
Many people want to learn more about our work but don’t always have the time or resources to stay with us. That’s why we offer one-hour campus tours that take you around the foundation and explain our approach to responsible tourism. You will be shown around by one of our students with whom you will be able to exchange about their background, SHF experiences and plans for their future.
As these campus tours require time and resources, we kindly ask external visitors to make a donation of IDR 50,000 per person. These contributions help us secure the future of the Foundation and are directly reinvested into our projects.
To allow us to organise your visit, please send a campus tour request to
sustainability@sumbahospitalityfoundation.org.
