Business concept
a. Business concept
Our core business concept revolves around the core values of our company. We can’t stress enough the high level of priority we attribute to the creation of differentiated, unique travel experiences for our clients. The tourist packages we design focus on providing to them the most authentic travel experience. Moreover, providing low-impact tours with the purpose of benefiting both tourists and local countries stands high on our agenda. Being at the presentation phase, we are striving to educate our target market with this innovative, environmentally- friendly and responsible philosophy of travelling. In this respect, we have also managed to reflect our new way of doing business into our new slogan, aligning it to our responsible tourism philosophy. ‘Travel responsibly’ is what we invite our clients to enjoy and be part of!
But in what ways is our company highly sensitive to low-impact tourist packages?
Our offerings are designed so as to provide as little negative effects as possible at a local level. As such, some of the activities we engage in are listed as follows:
- Employ local tour guides and partners, in order to provide to our clients the closest approach to the local customs, culture, lifestyle, etc.
- Engage in local community’s campaigns to protect the environment while travelling.
- Keep small sized groups in order to minimize negative effects and provide services of better quality.
- Visits to UNESCO World Heritage Sites are a vital part of our tours.
- We aim at cooperating with small local hotels as a way to promote the local economy based mostly on entrepreneurial activities of the destinations we are staying.
- Promote the ‘zero waste’ philosophy in different social and touristic events, such as the International Film Festival, etc.
b. Business competitiveness
The differentiation of the tourism offerings stays at the heart of our competitive advantage strategies. We aim to distinguish ourselves from competition not only by the quality of the services provided, but above all, by this image of ‘good citizen’ that we are trying to purport through our offerings.
Specific Experiences
A list of specific experiences in the field will be provided on the individual CV-s of key experts to be engaged in the project. It is worth mentioning however, that the experiences of our company are channelled in three distinct directions, respectively: tourist packages creation and implementation, project in the framework of environmental sustainability and webpage creation and maintenance. In this sense, we can say that we have added value to our core business by diversifying the range of services offered.
