Tourists taking the Bavaro Runners safari excursions may not realize just how major an impact they are making on their host communities. The excursion company invites tourists to join the Giving Back to the Community program whereby they contribute to painting the countryside homes of the residents in rural communities visited. The upkeep is contributing to the preservation of traditional architecture and pride in the wood and zinc homes of the countryside that otherwise would be replaced by homogenous cement houses. This is what happened in La Otra Banda, the once precious collection of wooden houses that are being replaced by modern cement houses and large warehouses filled with arts and crafts, many imported from China.
Tourists taking the Bavaro Runners excursions can take pride in helping the communities that can now showcase the colors of the tropics, by preserving their rustic wooden homes iconic of the Caribbean.
