In this episode, we explore the deep connection between craft and tourism—how immersive, on-the-ground experiences can not only shift consumer mindsets but also create meaningful, positive impacts for craft communities. We view tourism as a key driver in building thriving artisan ecosystems and were thrilled to chat with Katalina Mayorga, Founder and CEO of El Camino Travel, about her journey leading a global travel company.

Take a listen to our conversation where we discuss:

• The craft + tourism connection
• Quantifiable economic impact for artisan communities through tourism
• Socially responsible travel
• USAID
• Beauty of curiosity
