Ecotourism activities in Tado invite outsiders to learn about Tado indigenous
knowledge and honoring of their environment and how to use its resources.
Visitors participate in making a variety of crafts, such as woven fiber mats and
candlenut oil lamps, preparation of traditional foods and medicines, the use of
plants in jungle survival, and a selection of ancient Manggarai rituals.
P3MT-Tado Community Research and Education Center is a local organization whose staff comes directly from the community, who conduct research about their history, culture, and biodiversity. Now they are ready to open and share to anyone as part of their protection and conservation for their culture and biodiversity. ”Please COME, LEARN and HAVE FUN”
Their efforts were given a significant boost in 2006-8 by a joint Swiss-Australian aid
project (WiSATA) to support tourism development in the West Manggarai district.
WiSATA featured Tado and Waerebo in their district atlas, promotional literature,
and website ( Tado – WiSATA).
