Travelopment

We want to empower small and local tourism actors to fight the economical leakage from the destinations. While travel has so many positive effects like employment and understanding across cultures, it also has negative side-effects on nature and society*. Most of the money from travelers don’t go to the visited destinations. In many poor regions it can actually be as low as 5% left, for typical mass tourism according to UN reports. In average around 70% leak out Tourism is the worlds largest industry, above 8,9 trillion dollars, more than 10% of the global GDP and every 11th job. To illustrate: if we could only redirect only 1% of the misplaced money, it would still add billions to local development. The educational level in tourism is low due to seasonability, part-time-jobs, limited time and resources. Navigating in a digital world take resources most small businesses don’t have. We believe everyone deserves access to, insight, tools and quality education. We help, launch and invest in concepts to fight this problem. Our main contribution is to lower the threshold for education. Bridge the knowledge gap.
