Responsible Tourism
Small-scale, high-quality experiences designed to celebrate the natural environment while minimizing their ecological footprint.
The rainforest still has room to breathe here.
Blanche-Marie, Suriname. A remarkable place. A greater purpose.
About Blanche-Marie
Deep within the rainforest of Suriname lies Blanche-Marie, a place of extraordinary natural beauty and the potential to become something more meaningful.
A new chapter is taking shape.
A place worth protecting. A future worth building.
Our ambition is to develop Blanche-Marie into a destination where responsible tourism, scientific research, nature conservation and local economic opportunity reinforce one another.
We envision a place where visitors experience the rainforest with respect, researchers find opportunities for meaningful fieldwork, and surrounding communities take part in long-term economic development.
Not simply a destination to visit, but a place whose future is worth building together.
Our vision
Conservation & Research
Creating opportunities for scientific collaboration, biodiversity research and the long-term protection of the surrounding natural environment.
Community & Opportunity
Developing partnerships that support local employment, skills development and lasting economic participation.
Our approach
Our long-term goal is to establish a financially resilient model in which responsible tourism contributes to conservation, research strengthens knowledge, and strategic partnerships help develop the infrastructure needed to support both.
We believe Blanche-Marie's future should create value not only for those who visit, but also for the environment and the people connected to it.
Rooted in legacy. Built for the future.
The vision for Blanche-Marie began with Juliaan (Jul.) Maurits Dubois.
Today, his daughter, Evita Dubois, continues that work with a renewed commitment to the place and its long-term potential.
That history gives Blanche-Marie its roots. Its future will be shaped by the people, institutions and partners who help bring the next chapter to life.
