Calling itself “the first social marketplace for experiential travel”, ekoVenture recently launched.

The site provides access to 10,000+ travel experiences and day activities from 450+ tour operators in over 160 countries. A community of travelers will  also share reviews, blogs, photos, videos and more.

“Experiential travel is the fastest growing segment of travel because consumers are seeking more authentic travel experiences to break the cruise ship and theme park cycles”, says TJ Sassani, ekoVenture’s Founder and CEO.

Travel categories on ekoVenture include sustainable, cultural, adventure, culinary, active sport and voluntourism.  Among the trip experiences offered are cycling in the Moroccan desert ; sailing the Greek Islands; sip and cycling in Napa Valley ; hiking the Kokoda track in Papua New Guinea and volunteering in east Africa.
