About us

WE ARE a group of enthusiastic people from different activity fields. Our main purpose is to make better when it comes to tourism. We appreciate local values, we invest our resources in our projects, we don't believe in things made just because the have to be done. We are 100% involved in all our projects, we always did and will do everything through hard work and we keep exploring new perspectives in the fields we're passional about. In a few words, we're the Alternative Tourism Association.

WE WANT to show people the up sides of the places in which we live - city, region, country. Our purpose is to change mentalities on a long term, one of our main goals being to change the idea that things are made "just to be made".

WE UNDERSTAND we accept the reality we live in, with its pluses and minuses. We know that changes are hard to make and take time, and we believe that we can make a change for the better by persevering until we succeed. We have the courage to try to change mindsets and behaviors when we are told that nothing can be changed. We believe what we say and say what we believe, even when the truth isn't the most comfortable thing.

WE KNOW how things are conventionally done, but we always decide to explore new perspectives and broaden our horizons. We constantly hit obstacles, but we grin and bear it and move on. We are the Alternative Tourism Association and if you find yourself in everything we've said so far, we invite you to join us!

WE AIM to become a landmark in alternative tourism in Romania and to create the standard of "Alternative Tourism Guarantee" as a quality standard in this field, in order to promote sustainable tourism and support local communities.
