Solidarity Tourism

Solidarity Tourism aims to build other forms of mobility going beyond the mere fact of organizing a trip. It has to do also with the links that are created with the local community and the positive impacts for them and the environment. We aim to re-imagine mobility from a drain-braining escape to an experience of connection and exchange, promoting the value of solidarity as a driver of our actions and fostering the transition from individualism to cooperation.
