🔍 New report on tourism's hidden cost: economic leakage At TravelLocal, we're proud to have sponsored and contributed to The Travel Foundation’s latest report, which uncovers the staggering reality of tourism leakage. In some destinations, as little as 20% of holiday spending benefits the local economy. This report is a wake-up call for us all to rethink how we travel and where our money goes. We believe in empowering local communities through travel, and this report highlights the need for more equitable tourism practices. Read the full report and discover how you can make a positive impact when you travel. 🌍 https://lnkd.in/ePrvE-y7 #SustainableTourism #SupportLocal #ReimagineTravel #ResponsibleTourism #TravelIndustry

🌿Exploring the Camino de Costa Rica 🌿 Adventure.com's Meera Dattani recently embarked on an unforgettable journey through Costa Rica with one of our fantastic local agents, hiking the Camino de Costa Rica - an incredible trail that stretches from the Caribbean to the Pacific coast. Since its launch in 2018, this trail has opened up some of the most rural parts of Costa Rica, connecting hidden gems and offering travelers a chance to experience the country in a completely unique way. The Camino not only showcases Costa Rica’s natural beauty, but also supports sustainable development - promoting conservation, entrepreneurship, and job creation in local communities through guides, homestays and small businesses. Read all about Meera’s adventure and discover the amazing benefits the Camino de Costa Rica brings to this beautiful country. 👉 https://lnkd.in/efK6cVBm #CostaRica #CaminoDeCostaRica #AdventureTravel #LocalBusiness #TravelExperience #Hiking

We love to hear from our travelers! Here is what Hunter and his new wife had to say about their honeymoon to Italy back in September last year. "Wonderful experience working with Melanie. She helped us plan our Italian Honeymoon and it was dreamy. All of our transfers were scheduled and planned for us, hotel reservations, and activities. She even recommended restaurants. She was available if we needed adjustments throughout the trip and very responsive. Cannot recommend enough!" Would you like to take a trip to Italy? Find out more here: https://lnkd.in/gMiN_NG4
