Digital Nomad Association Croatia’s Post

Coming back from the #WebSummit with a ton of fresh ideas, I’ve realized #WeRoad has two incredible opportunities to drive growth beyond our current trajectory: 1️⃣ Flipping the paradigm: from "search" to "co-creation" why have only a pre-made catalog?? Let’s create trips tailored to the traveler: WeRoaders tell us their preferences (destination, mood, duration, age, budget...) and we produce their trip on demand leveraging our community of #TravelCoordinators and tools that make the process scalable, fast, and seamless and then ask them. 2️⃣ Co-creation of events Imagine a system where events, aligned with our community’s age, mood etc, are no longer just organized by WeRoad, but proposed by travelers and local providers. In this way we can really offer our #Community endless options for their free time and for making new friends. A big shout-out to #TimeLeft and #LesAmis, met in Lisbon, for successfully validating this model of co-creation events! 🚀 The long-term vision? A hybrid ecosystem combining #AI-powered #personalization and community co-creation to build a community that grow fueled by shared #Events and #TravelExperiences organized by our coordinators and partners I can’t wait to discuss this, it feels like we’re about to write the next chapter of an incredible story!

Sustainable by design is the only way. If you want to here me talk about it take a peak at the video and look at the great tools BehaviorSMART provides.

We've witnessed firsthand how the right timing can transform an ordinary event into an extraordinary experience. Here are 3 reasons why seasonality matters, followed by a practical example: 1. Authenticity and Local Engagement Off-season events can tap into local culture and traditions, offering more authentic experiences. This enriches the event and supports the local community. 2. Cost Efficiency Off-peak seasons often come with lower costs for accommodations, venues, and travel. This allows for budget optimization without compromising on quality. 3. Sustainable Tourism By avoiding peak tourist seasons, we reduce the environmental impact and support sustainable development in less-visited areas. This approach helps preserve the natural beauty and cultural heritage of destinations. Want a practical example? Imagine a team-building retreat in the picturesque region of Abruzzo, Italy, during the tranquil month of October. It’s a time when tourist crowds have thinned, and the landscape is painted with the rich hues of autumn. Among the activities are: 🌸 Saffron harvest. Teams work together in the centuries-old tradition of harvesting saffron, learning about sustainable farming practices. This meticulous process promotes communication, cooperation, and a shared sense of accomplishment. It also instills a collective appreciation for environmental stewardship. 🍷 Wine tasting and vineyard tours. Teams visit family-owned vineyards to taste exquisite local wines, learn about organic wine production, and engage in discussions with winemakers who emphasize sustainability. This experience encourages bonding over shared tastes and discoveries, and provides a relaxed setting for team members to connect on a personal level. 🎨 Artisan workshops. Teams work with local artisans to create traditional crafts such as pottery or the diatonic accordion. These hands-on activities require collaboration, creativity, and problem-solving, improving team dynamics. Engaging with local crafts also deepens cultural understanding and collective respect for tradition. Seasonality is more than just a consideration. It's a strategy to elevate the experience, foster genuine connections, and support sustainable development. --- Do you embrace the unique opportunities that each season offers for your events?
