Emerging Trail Leader Scholarship Recipient

 

Paula Rascão

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

As a hiker and trail professional, being at ITS is a great opportunity to learn about initiatives that are being implemented and also those that are working successful around the world. It is also an opportunity to meet the most renowned professionals in the area and exchange experiences on trail planning and management. I am also interested in learning about other initiatives related to technology and innovation for trails.

I'm a Tourismologist. I've been joining my experience acquired working in several sectors of the tourism industry and my passion about nature and outdoor activities in order to propose innovative projects that contribute to the development of Brazilian Trails.

I'm a founder and CEO at eTrilhas, which is a digital platform to promote and manage trails. I also work with consultancy in the implementation of trail systems and long distance trails in Brazilian destinations.

I represented Brazil in the Next Generation Trails Visionaires Expedition, in Japan.

I'm a board member of Brazilian Trails Network and the World Trails Network - Hub for the Americas.
