A movie created 1 month before the pandemic hit the world... "Culture may differ Food brings us together I hope to meet you anytime in the future Goodbye...." These words of Root, one of our local families in Bangkok, were words of wisdom, hope and strenght. We spoke him and his family recently and times changed for the better. A happy face and twinkling eyes. Travel as a fantastic force to do Good 🌏❤️

Do you already know this location? 🌎 A location of sea turtles and traditional pepe watra and cassava bread. It is possible to participate yourself and the stories will come naturally when you eat together. 🐢 Take a walk through the village and hear about the old lady who makes jewelry, or the man who makes calabas bowls. 👩🌾 Would you rather fish with the fishermen or learn about medicinal plants? 👨🏫 Welcome to Suriname! 🌴 😍 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Ken je deze locatie al? 🌎 Een locatie van zeeschildpadden en traditioneel pepe watra en cassave brood. Zelf meedoen is mogelijk en met het samen eten komen de verhalen vanzelf. 🐢 Maak een dorpswandeling en hoor van het oude vrouwtje die sieraden maakt, of van de man die calabas kommen maakt. 👩🌾 Liever samen met de vissers vissen of leren over de medicinale planten? 👨🏫 Welkom in Suriname! 🌴 😍

Unpopular opinion: authentic tourism is often just a marketing trick! 🤔 🤗 🤐 In online tourism marketing, the term ‘authentic’ is used a lot. Travel businesses promote experiences that allow travellers to dive deep into local culture. 😇 Do these experiences truly deliver what they promise? Do travellers really get to experience local culture? At ResiRest, we’d say probably not. 🙇♂️ Often, these so-called authentic experiences are more about meeting travellers’ expectations than showing real local life. 🔙 Authenticity now seems to mean packaged, comfortable and Instagram ready experiences. 🌅 🕌 For ResiRest and all our connected families and communities, it is all about real authenticity. As an example travellers eating with local families at their table and: - Having true and genuine interactions 👨🍳 🙋♂️ - Supporting and respecting local communities 💯 - Learning about cultural habits and traditions 🙏 - Contributing to local economies in a meaningful way 💚 Let’s talk about this! What does authenticity mean to you or to your travel business? Do you think the word is overused? Share your thoughts in the comments and let’s work towards a future where travel truly benefits locals and travellers! ❤️ PS: Do you know it is World Fair Trade Day on the second Saturday of May each year? Happy World Fair Trade Day! We’re proud to be fully Certified! Fair is proven not in what you write. Fair is proven in what you do ✅ #tourism #authentictourism #travelindustry #authenticity #realexperiences #travelexperience World Fair Trade Organization (WFTO)
