A Beginner’s Guide to Community-Based Travel
If you’re about to travel to a country with a different culture and traditions, it’s important to do some research to get the full experience. In this article, we’ll share a few tips on how to completely immerse yourself in local culture and support the communities.
Travel to Learn the History From the Locals
Taking time to learn more about the history of the place you're traveling to can make your stay even more meaningful and interesting. The more you know, the better you'll be able to adapt to the new culture, and the faster locals will accept you. Also, doing research can help you find less-known areas to visit, enabling you to support small businesses instead of chains or businesses not owned by people from that community. If you want to travel to all those hidden places that not many know about, a local tour guide will be your best friend. Also, by booking a tour, you'll show that there is a high demand for employment. Locals can share stories, answer your questions, and help you get to know the place.
