Local travel is not easily accessible for most travellers. It’s inflexible, offered as part of group travel or as an all-or-nothing option.
When we are able to travel again post Covid-19, our research shows people will be looking to avoid over-crowded hotspots in favour of more individual trips. They’ll also be wanting to travel experientially, responsibly, and in a more eco-friendly way.
Our vision is to make local travel accessible in a way that fits into the travellers agenda. We work with local partners who are passionate about their experiences, their skills, where they live and keen to share its best-kept secrets.
We are making local travel accessible so anyone can experience its benefits, as well as the benefits it brings to local communities and the planet.
