    Gabriel Sierra, is an inspiring entrepreneur using his glamping business, Tiny Pines, in Honduras, as a force for good. His journey is a fascinating blend of family heritage, sustainable tourism, and deep community impact. Gabriel has turned a mountainside in Honduras - an area once overlooked for tourism - into a thriving, regenerative retreat that supports local families and uplifts an entire community.  Honduras has long been a diver's paradise with its breathtaking landscapes and the world’s second-largest coral reef in the Bay Islands. But Gabriel is shifting the narrative, showing that the mountains have just as much to offer.  In this glamping business case study, he shares how his family land became Tiny Pines, how he built trust with the local community, and how his innovative “local Uber Eats” model has transformed small kiosks into sustainable businesses that everyone can benefit from.  This episode is packed with stories of resilience, creativity, and the profound impact of thoughtful tourism.
