Journe

Journe is a community-led platform revitalizing tourism in Sri Lanka’s Northern Province by connecting travelers with authentic cultural experiences while directly benefiting local people. Visitors can join pottery classes, cooking sessions, and heritage walks hosted by community members, 75% of whom are women, including single mothers gaining financial independence. Since its launch, Journe has strengthened livelihoods, preserved traditional crafts, promoted sustainable travel, and fostered community pride—demonstrating how digital innovation can make tourism inclusive, culturally enriching, and socially transformative.
