Bunaken Artisan Village

Responding to BNMP’s need for livelihood diversification and enhancement, the Bunaken Artisan Village will produce immediate and long-term opportunities for local residents to supplement their current income through the sale of ethically and locally produced arts and crafts, and demonstrations of skills. RACI helps to provide an interactive, cultural experience for tourists while promoting the preservation of the marine park’s heritage and charm.
