Orango Parque Hotel is much more than just a tourist establishment. The complex is managed by the Associaçao Guiné Bissau Orango, a Spanish non-profit organisation that takes part in the development of ecotourism in the National Parks of Guinea Bissau.

The hotel reinvests its profits into carrying out development cooperation micro-projects that have a direct effect on the local population of the Orango National Park. These projects are chosen by the actual beneficiaries themselves. Specific emphasis has been placed on health and education issues. With regard to health, refurbishing health centres and primary health care units and drilling boreholes for clean water. With regard to public education, building nurseries and renovating schools, with the aim of increasing the work possibilities and future expectations of the local population

However, the hotel has another even more important impact on its surroundings, which is the creation of jobs, contributing to the development of the area and enhancing the natural resources and highlighting that conservation is more productive than unsustainable development. As an added value, the hotel’s members of staff receive training on a regular basis to ensure that they become respectable and qualified professionals in the emerging ecotourism industry in Guinea Bissau.

A commitment to responsible and sustainable tourism, that enables tourism to be compatible with the conservation of biodiversity.

A real ecotourism project that provides tourists with a better understanding of the reality of the local culture through knowledge and respect.
