# Textes_Formes de tourisme ## Invitation au voyage **For Discussion:** Which quote best reflects your travel vision? * "The true journey of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes." - Marcel Proust * "If you think adventure is dangerous, I suggest you try routine. It is fatal." - Paulo Coelho * "Make your life a dream, and your dream a reality." - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry ## Document 1: Solidarity Tourism Breaking the Niche **Solidarity Tourism Emerging** Travelers actively participate in a clearly defined mission, tailored to each country, with a compensated local team. Economic benefits are fairly distributed between the tour company and the host village, sustaining projects. **Key to Success** The key to successful projects lies in engaging the local community and respecting the environment. However, dedication and financial commitment are required. **Double Sens Agency** A newly established travel agency, called Double Sens, employs 35 people in Paris and various countries including: Ecuador, Burkina Faso, Benin, Madagascar, Sri Lanka, Cambodia, and Vietnam. The agency's ventures arise from founder Aurelian's experiences with an NGO in Tanzania and Antoine's internship in London. **Funding and Training** Before launching the project, the founders secured funding and underwent training in sustainable tourism. Their objective is to effectively implement development projects with local communities, rather than simply engaging in emergency humanitarian aid. **Pricing and Services** Double Sens offers mission-driven and immersive trips, ranging from €1900 to €2700, comparable to all-inclusive package tours. ## Document 2: Couchsurfing **Concept** Imagine a vast social network, connecting over one million individuals, offering accommodation and experiences.
