2017 - Travel and promote responsible and citizen tourism

3rd January 2017. We leave Warsaw (Poland) for a year. We are newly ambassadors of a society: HOPINEO.

Discover, share, exchange, many reasons which made us choose this association to promote touristic activities committed in respecting environment, humans and cultures.  

We went through Asia (From Warsaw to Delhi) during 6 months. Then, we crossed oceans to visit Central America. Looking for soft means of transport, we took time to meet people, their lifes and challenges they may face every day.

Of course, we met various touristic projects as different as tourism can be different. We now continue to raise awareness about sustainable tourism as it is most probably the only one way to reach a fair and well-balanced development in tourism.
