Adventure.com is an award-winning travel digital magazine based in Melbourne, Australia. Since 2017, it has featured stories about sustainability, culture, and authentic adventure. Through the pages of Adventure.com, experiences from every corner of the world are highlighted, with respect for the environment.

In a recent article by journalist Imogen Lepere, titled “Looking for a community tourism experience? Read these tips from hosts around the World”, the dynamic relationship between traveler and host is examined. The author talks to hosts from various countries, looking for ways in which guests can truly experience the hospitality experience.

It is with particular pleasure and honor that among the “global hostesses” featured, the “voice” of Andros Routes is also featured. In the article, the project coordinator shares her perspective on hospitality, emphasizing the importance of understanding the context of each community before visiting. As she says in the relevant excerpt:

So, how can we cultivate a guest mindset? For Olga Karagianni, the founder of Andros Routes, a volunteer organisation responsible for restoring abandoned mule tracks and turning them into hiking trails that wind through the depopulated villages in the island’s largely forgotten interior, the key is researching the context to a community before you visit so you can make more informed choices. “How visitors interact with locals and what behavior and preferences they demonstrate can cumulatively influence the course of the small communities they visit,” she says.

The mention of the work of Andros Routes is an important recognition of the effort made to highlight the cultural and natural heritage of Andros.

💚 We warmly thank the Adventure.com team and Imogen Lepere for the opportunity to make the voice of Andros heard to an international audience. This article encourages us to continue our work with even greater dedication, always respecting the place, the people and the visitors.
