The Founder Story of Ventura TRAVEL

One of the things we at Ventura TRAVEL love to do: collaborating with tourism boards around the world! Together with the local experts, we want to increase responsible, experience-driven travel to their regions. We turn our back on mass tourism, and instead build highly specialised brands that emotionally connect travelers to places, the people who live there, and their culture. This allows us to help destinations to attract more visitors, increase quality arrivals, and position lesser-known regions responsibly on the global tourism map.

Even before our first trip in 2002 we started supporting local communities through what later became the V Social Foundation, showing that responsibility was – and continues to be – an integral part of our DNA. Today, across all brands:

✔️ We run small-group travel to support meaningful encounters on eye-level

✔️ We partner directly with local guides, artisans, homestays & community projects

✔️ We are certified in responsible tourism for more than a decade

✔️ Every itinerary balances traveler experience with fair local impact

✔️ Our commitment to impact continues through Forest Guardians (conservation) and VSocial (community-based tourism)

Tourism boards aligned with ethical, sustainable, and socially valuable travel see Ventura TRAVEL as a long-term strategic amplifier.

We collaborate best with boards that aim to:

✅ Promote cultural, nature-based, or community-led travel

✅ Strengthen regional equity beyond mass tourism hotspots

✅ Attract responsible, experience-seeking travelers

✅ Co-invest in FAM trips, product development, or brand campaigns

✅ Build long-term brand alignment rather than short-term volume
