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.
The ekoVenture Guru network will also share their experiences, recommendations and expertise with the ekoVenture community. This network will feature 12 world record holders, five National Geographic Adventurers of the Year, conservation leaders and adventure trailblazers from across the planet. Gurus will include legends like Jamling Tenzing Norgay, Leo Le Bon, Emma Stokes, Chris Fallows and others.
ekoVenture plans to donate a portion of its profits to support local communities through various initiatives like providing clean drinking water and preserving reefs and rainforests.
