PEOPLE-FIRST TOURISM

People-First Tourism is a social venture born out of sustainable tourism research from NC State university. We aim to disrupt an industry that often takes advantage of the people and places that make it profitable in the first place... It is difficult for experience providers in a destination to coordinate their online promotion and transaction activites. People-First Tourism provides a centralized marketplace for its destination partners. We handle all the systems, web design and transaction workflow to create online customer access to your experiences. The result is a promotable asset for the destination... Your destination has local crafts people, change makers, artists, and keepers of stories that make your community unique. Your destination holds a monopoloy on the uniqueness of "place" that can be used to attract visitors. We work with destinations to identify authentic experiences aligned with the destination's brand promise and market them to discerning visitors.
