We have all come to appreciate what a privilege it is to travel, and moving forward, let’s make our travel matter more than ever by actively giving back to the communities and destinations we visit.
Travel provides the opportunity to delve deeper into the way different cultures and communities live. It also shows us what needs protecting and preserving – our planet, our people and wildlife. Join us as we ensure that travel is a force for good.
An example of this is with a new inclusion on Insight Vacations’ trips in Croatia – a visit to the Tara Community Centre near Plitvice National Park, a co-operative set up by and for local women that were displaced after the Croatian War of Independence. The centre provides the platform for them to create their own income and preserve traditional customs, particularly weaving and knitting, as well as making marmalades, spirits and bread. Guests are welcomed with homemade rakija and bread with salt, and then enjoy a chat with the women followed by a workshop demonstration of their handicrafts, including the opportunity to have a go at weaving on a traditional loom.
This experience is available on Insight Vacations’ Country Roads of Croatia, The Eastern Discovery and the Eastern Capitals & the Dalmatian Riviera
