About XperienceLocal
This year's event is dedicated to alternative tourism, shedding light on sustainable and authentic travel experiences led by the diverse, less-explored local communities of Jordan.
As we deviate away from mass tourism, we aspire to take responsible travellers and adventure seekers on a local quest to explore the path less trodden, embrace the unknown and support the cultural and natural heritage in rural areas. This approach will not only build unforgettable experiences for travellers but also create new economic opportunities for the local community.
Our aim is to foster a deeper appreciation for the positive impact of sustainable travel themes such as cultural, wellness, gastronomy and ecotourism, while also providing a platform for networking, knowledge exchange and collaboration among participants.
