More and more travellers and holidaymakers are seeking unique experiences that make them feel part of the culture and traditions of the destinations they choose to visit. Tourists seek to immerse themselves in the customs of the places they travel to and explore the hidden treasures only locals know about be it a small restaurant, a secret beach or that great little cafe known the “initiated”.
