USAID Turizam launches collaboration with G Adventures, a company that takes travelers from around the world to more than 100 countries, to introduce series of trips to Bosnia and Herzegovina
USAID Turizam pokreće saradnju s G Adventures, kompanijom koja vodi putnike iz cijelog svijeta u više od 100 zemalja, kako bi predstavili seriju putovanja za Bosnu i Hercegovinu.
With the support of USAID Developing Sustainable Tourism in Bosnia and Herzegovina (Turizam), the tour operator G-Adventures and the Global Travel and Tourism Resilience Council (GTTRC), Bosnia and Herzegovina will be included in an extended program of trips designed to support local communities, while also showcasing the Balkan’s distinctive culture, nature and heritage.
The pioneer in leading these travels will be G Adventures, a tour operator specialized in community tourism and small group travel, and offering more than 750 tours in 100 countries, on seven continents. G Adventures’ award-winning trips support local communities, giving travelers meaningful experiences with people, cultures, landscapes and wildlife, while offering them the freedom and flexibility to explore on their own. G Adventures’ responsible approach to travel is demonstrated through its ‘G for Good’ social impact commitments, which include travel guidelines for children, wildlife and Indigenous people, and different community-based projects across the globe.
As part of the new partnership, representatives from G Adventures will visit Bosnia and Herzegovina, where USAID Turizam will facilitate meet-ups with suppliers and service providers to discuss ideas for future on-trip experiences. USAID Turizam and G Adventures will also collaborate on international media familiarization trips to help increase interest in the country and the new program. Additionally, GTTRC will use its internationally recognized profile to promote this collaboration throughout its events as an example of a successful model for growth in sustainable tourism.
This collaboration serves as a compelling illustration of the benefits that rural and local communities can derive from community tourism, paving the way for sustainable tourism development in the region. In addition, it aims to offer travelers a more immersive experience within the destination, ensuring that the advantages of adventure travel are more widely distributed across the region.
