Vanessa Yhoselin works in the Tourism sector leading Epic Experiences. Vanessa Yhoselin is a professional in tourism running a local sustainable tour operator in La Paz, Bolivia. The tour operator mostly engages with rural areas to make a profit and benefit the local communities. For example, the tour package, Luribay 2D/1N Grapes, Wine, and Singanis, consists of visiting wine cellars and colonial houses managed by the community. The lodging is in the community selected for tourism enterprise Cabaña Unión, and the local people prepare breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Their customers are professionals aged from 25 to 45 years old and looking for experiences at a new rural destination. Their tour is unique in that travelers support the community development besides enjoying the rural area. Coming to the YLAI Fellowship, Vanessa Yhoselin’s top business challenge is Social Impact.
