The ideaA tourism of win-winToday tourism is made by agencies and big tour operators, a scheme in which only a few profit. Therefore, we developed a different proposal:- Linking travelers to locals for them to feel welcome in a new city.
- Stimulating local businesses instead of big touristic companies through new alternative tours.
- Meeting locals that are passionate about their city who offer new insights for a tourist.
- A reference and local ambassadors system which allows to determine and assess the experiences' quality.
- Discovering new places that do not appear in any travel guide or travel sites such as Trip Advisor.
- Clear information about how profit is distributed in each step of the process.
- It is not just a trip, is an experience, is about local and cultural learning, a more authentic way of getting to know the city.
