At Seven Directions Tours we want to suggest a new way to affiliate tourism with a purpose. The tourism industry witnesses new interesting trends where local tourism and conscious travel suggest alternative ideas about different meaningful travelling experiences. This featured tour’s goal is to create awareness about a variety of experiences manifested in diverse forms of art, nature, and human visions.

Seeking to interview representatives of unique destination travel locations

(publicists, CVB’s, Dept of Tourism, etc.) to discuss the following:

—    Examples of how travel destinations spanning the planet are effected by the six-trillion-dollar global travel and tourism industry

—     Positive ways to contribute to local societies and economies when traveling throughout North America and abroad

—    What local communities are doing to earn money while simultaneously telling the stories that preserve their cultures

These discussions will contribute to a new journalistic project called “Write/Peace”, new on creative crowdfunding site: Kickstarter. Over the course of one year, we will publish a series of long-form (3,500+) articles addressing the economic impact of travel and tourism worldwide.

If you would like to discuss this project further, please email us your thoughts: info@writepeace.com.
