New website promotes 'humane tourism'
No Comments
Humanitour.com is a new online travel service designed to empower “humane tourism” in developing countries by connecting travelers from throughout the world in support of authentic travel experiences.
Humanitour.com is the first of its kind Internet-based global travel exchange devoted to promoting humane tourism by empowering local travel related businesses around the world – first and foremost in developing countries.
Humanitour aims to connect travelers from Europe, North America, Australia and New Zealand seeking new adventures and authentic experiences directly, via no commission based middle man, to local businesses in the specific locations they wish to visit – thus, giving economic advantages to local businesses and giving travelers authentic and truly unique travel experiences.
Humanitour enables travelers to experience the world through the eyes of its local people while contributing directly to those people, ensuring that tourist dollars benefit the local community directly.
The future is humane tourism
Humanitour is about giving opportunity to the local people; empower them, enable them to enjoy the fruits of tourism directly, get the publicity and cut all commissions on the way.
The Internet is changing tourism. More and more travelers are planning their travels and vacations via the net. The Internet enables people to cut off commissions. The traveler can search for new destinations to visit, talk or read about other people experience, and buy the services directly.
Locally-based tourism related services can register and be offered by Humanitour. These local businesses may be hotels or restaurants, food stalls or fishermen’s boats, etc. The aim of Humanitour is to give these small businesses, normally unknown, a unique platform to market themselves and offer their services free of charge.
The hope is that the Internet platform will encourage local people to start new businesses and that already existing small businesses will begin to promote themselves and receive the economic advantages of this directly in their communities.
