My entire life, I worked and lived outside of my home town and county. That was my primary motivation, along with my nostalgia, to start making tourist trips in which I will showcase all nature’s beauties and historical and cultural inheritance of my people.
When I started with tourism, I never thought that this would become a serious business that was not my motive. My motive was the love for my homeland, nostalgia, and desire to showcase the historical and cultural inheritance of Balkan to other countries.
Before my 18th year, I began with my first trips, which were intended for small groups of people interested in historical-cultural worldviews. That was more in the form of a hobby. Still, with my historical background, engagement, and complete dedication to my programs, I succeed in achieving a large number of passengers who were interested in Balkan countries.
This form self-developed into B2B, with preparation, training, and developing programs for larger tour operators who already had their tradition in that direction, and with whom we started to create various types of trips for more Balkan countries.
Apart from historical and cultural tours, we slowly developed and started doing themed experiences with a religious background and trips for people who were interested in the historic arts. When we noticed the demand and interests of an activist, we started working and developing a multi-active sector that provided hiking adventures, canyoning/ rafting experiences, cycling tours, and many more.
This kind of transition lasted for couple of years while the interest in traveling and the demand for themed programs started to rise rapidly. That was the time when we decided to open our new office based in Macedonia, hired a bigger team that could now take care of the demand and our products while nurturing the idea that we need to introduce the world to what this small piece of land has to offer.
This requires not just office work and dedicated backstage workers, but quality and trained guides who need to realize the idea behind products and turn them into reality. With this approach, we brought us to the most significant tour operating companies in the world, in which we developed substantial and long-term cooperation and relationship based on quality and trust.
Our travel agency isn’t just an ordinary travel company. Still, it has become an ideal and the first example in our county how tourism needs to function on a long life stage, which brings sustainability in both the rural and big cities.
Not only did we manage to achieve our goal of becoming a lead agency in the travel industry, but we managed to find a way to help locals, and our partners earn way more than they ever thought that would be able to.
Our agency still has unachieved goals which in the future we want to achieve, like having more travelers from various countries and creating different types of innovative trips with which we will expand our offer, therefore solving the demand of the modern tourist.
