Mynatour is proud to announce a fresh and exciting partnership with the Local Travel Movement.

The Local Travel Movement is a web platform promoting a better understanding of what real “local” travel is AND how both the visitor and the local host can get the very best experience from it.

Embracing the same approach, Mynatour is an online social network that provides connections with the host community and independent travellers through the exchange of blogs, personal experiences and genuine local knowledge. Members can share their home expertise with visitors from close by and overseas for the sustainable benefit of the local community whilst conserving the natural environment and respecting its unique way of life.

The Local Travel Movement initiative is new baby (born this very April). Its chief aim is to pull together a pool of like-minded organisations in order to provide a rich source of information for the modern eco-traveller. A person just like you – someone who wants to fully immerse themselves in the authentic local culture, tasting and smelling the delicious home-cooked food, learning and enjoying the true celebratory slang as well as the naughtiest swear words. This approach to tourism will allow us to share the joy of real communities and invest in them as opposed to riding on the backs of the package holiday giants with their more generic sea, sand and cruise excursions.
