Local Travel

A trourist doesn’t travel to disconnect from the world but just the opposite: to connect with it. Our main goal at Trourist has always been — and will continue to be —  helping travellers to live special and genuine experiences in every city they visit. In most cases, that means visiting local shops or availing oneself of a native resident’s helpful pointers. This is what we call Local Travel, which we consider the most fun, real and rewarding way to get to know those places we visit.

Besides, this way of travelling so far removed from that offered by behemoth tour-operators, is much more true and reliable. On the one hand, it ensures a more equitable distribution of tourism-derived monies to the people residing at the places visited. On the other hand, this system permits local shops to transmit culture and local customs their way without interference from third parties.

Without a doubt, we love Local Travel because of what it offers us and the communities whose destinations we visit. We feel obligated to come out and say that we are proud of our collaborative efforts with the Local Travel Movement, a grassroots initiative which promotes this way of travelling. If you’d like to learn more about this movement, or wish to find out about similar activities that will allow you to connect directly with people and their local businesses, just visit their web site.
