About AfroEx

Where Culture Becomes the Journey

Our Mission

AfroEx exists to honor and amplify the voices of cultural custodians. We create economic opportunities for local guides while offering travelers meaningful connections to heritage, creativity, and lived stories.

Market Facilitation

AfroEx is a platform, not a tour operator. We provide booking infrastructure, payment processing, and quality standards. Vendors deliver the experiences.

Cultural Curation

Every experience is reviewed for cultural respect, authenticity, safety standards, and alignment with our values before being published on the platform.

Local Impact

A portion of surplus supports local cultural initiatives. We prioritize keeping economic benefits within the communities that create these experiences.

Global Expansion

Launching in Panama with plans to expand to Costa Rica, Brazil, Colombia, and beyond. Our vision is a global network of cultural experiences.

How We Work

We facilitate, not execute.

Vendors are responsible for delivering safe, respectful, high-quality experiences. AfroEx provides the platform, payment processing, booking coordination, and customer support infrastructure.

We curate, not compromise.

Experiences must meet our standards for cultural authenticity, safety, and respect before being approved.

We support, not control.

Vendors set their schedules, pricing, and policies within our platform guidelines. We coordinate support and handle disputes fairly.

Powered by Purpose

AfroEx is powered by a Panama-based nonprofit organization. We operate as a cultural marketplace with the mission to elevate travel through culture, support local economies, and reinvest in community-led cultural preservation and creativity.
