Tourism Culture has changed
Today‘s travellers want to...
Discover new unknown places by themselves...
7:25 a.m. – somewhere in the Mediterranean
Taste authentic local cuisine...
Mix with the community in typical local settings...
Find inner peace & spiritual balance...
Experience intact, remote and wild nature...(... as comfortably & safely as possible)
Live deeply moving, outstanding experiences...
The loss of travel culture?
„It‘s a shame, less and less people are interested in visiting the historical and cultural heritage sights in their destinations. These type of excursions get less and less booked. Consumption takes over culture“
