Reach the Beach

Why go local?

For one, Ibiza, Machu Picchu, Morocco can wait. The creperies along Champs Elysees won’t close anytime soon, and the Paris-Roubaix race will return. And of course, there are the 2024 Olympics. All akin to a jet-setter’s normal travel tastes.

More importantly, the pandemic and consequent ban on foreign travel unintendedly shifted the spotlight to sustainable domestic eco-tourism. Visiting any of these spots not only supports livelihood activities for our communities, but opens our eyes to the natural beauty of the homeland.

This is not glamping. It’s a paradigm shift from moonlit, ocean-view balconies, canapes and wine.

It’s a call to re-experience that downing a cold one on an isolated, sandy beach as the sun sets could be just as calming.

Have you switched those Salvatorres for Scarpas yet?
