The change formula
Why community travel?
Authentic connection with local cultures
Community-based travel allows you to experience the local culture, traditions, customs and lifestyles directly from the people who live in the destination. This creates a deep and enriching connection that goes beyond conventional tourism.
Direct support to communities
The money you spend on community travel goes directly to local communities, contributing to the economic development and livelihoods of local people. This promotes equity and reduces dependence on big middlemen.
Promotes sustainable tourism
Community-based travel promotes environmentally friendly practices, such as the use of local resources and conservation of the environment. This helps protect their ecosystems and encourages respect for nature.
Personal enrichment
It is a transforming experience that allows you to learn new perspectives, values and ways of living, promoting cultural understanding and empathy. It generates knowledge in oneself that we would not otherwise gain from travelling.
Reducing the negative impact of tourism
Choosing community destinations helps to decongest crowded places, helping to distribute the benefits of tourism more equitably.
Cultural preservation
By participating in activities organised by communities, you help preserve their traditions and cultural heritage, creating a sense of pride and continuity for future generations.
