The National Ecotourism and Rural Tourism Programme – REVIVE ROÇAS e Áreas Naturais is a structuring initiative that aims to transform old farms, rural landscapes and natural areas in São Tomé and Príncipe into dynamic hubs for sustainable ecotourism. The programme organises a true national portfolio of opportunities, structuring long-term concession models, financing mechanisms and partnerships that enable the development of viable, competitive and high-impact eco-tourism businesses. By valuing the natural and cultural heritage of plantations and rural communities, the initiative repositions the country as an emerging ecotourism destination, capable of generating economic returns, attracting investors and ensuring environmental sustainability. More than just a tourism programme, it is a catalyst for public-private partnerships for inclusive growth, promoting local employment, community entrepreneurship and environmental conservation. Its integrated approach combines green investment, rehabilitation of historical heritage and protection of ecosystems, offering a sustainable development model in line with global trends in responsible tourism. REVIVE ROÇAS is, in short, a transformative opportunity that converts dormant heritage into lasting economic, social and environmental value – positioning São Tomé and Príncipe as an African benchmark for quality ecotourism.
