The Porter Voice Collective

The Porter Voice Collective was born out of the desire to listen to, celebrate and elevate the voices of porters and guides, especially women, in the trekking tourism industry worldwide. It is a collection of their voices from Peru, Nepal, and Tanzania. We aim to bridge the gap of knowledge between tourists that walk the mountain trails and the men and women who are the core foundation of the trekking tourism industry. We are creating a collection of global voices by sharing stories of porters and guides in the three most influential trekking tourism industries in the world – Peru, Nepal and Tanzania. As tourists, we also encourage you to add to these voices as allies to create Workforce Equity Tourism.

Collectively, we

Listen.

Celebrate.

Elevate.

The Mountain Tourism Workforce.
