Sustainable tourism
A growth market you can profit from
The tourism industry has suffered more than almost any other from the corona pandemic. Anyone wishing to remain competitive in the long term should therefore not only concentrate on their core business, but should grasp every opportunity to bring new and attractive travel products to the market – and this does not only apply in times of crisis. In the process, resilience and sustainable recovery play an ever-increasing role for many consumers.
With trips to the IPD partner countries Brazil, Ecuador, Tunisia, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Uzbekistan, you can profit from this trend.
We mediate selected tour operators in these attractive holiday destinations, all of whom we have thoroughly tried and tested. These local incoming agencies and Eco Lodges offer widely varied products customised for the European market, and they stand out for their sustainability and exclusivity.
By your involvement in these countries, you are making a substantial contribution to promoting social and ecological development at the local level.
Our companies develop group tours and individual trips for families, singles, individual travellers, school or student groups, best agers or travellers with disabilities, etc.
