As we watch the final sunsets of 2020 in the tranquil setting of the Great Sahara Desert, we reflect on a year filled with extraordinary challenges and experiences.
There is no doubt that 2020 has been difficult for all of us, altering our lives in ways we could never have anticipated. We deeply miss our traveling community, families, and friends. The thrill of exploring new places and connecting with different cultures is sorely missed.
The global impact of the pandemic has been immense, particularly on the tourism industry. As travel and tourism are crucial sources of income for local communities and small businesses, this year has posed significant challenges for those whose livelihoods have been disrupted. We maintain close partnerships with local communities here in Morocco.
Every trip we take directly supports local families, artisans, and small businesses. The past year has tested us all, and as we step into this new year, we are even more dedicated to supporting the local communities and families that have helped us create unforgettable memories.
When travel is possible again, let’s commit to exploring the world with a heightened sense of purpose and awareness regarding our impact on the people and places we visit. The connections we make during our travels are what truly enrich our experiences.
We believe that, following tough times, there will be an increased desire for slow, conscious travel and profound, meaningful experiences. This is a call to explore the world and its precious communities with the utmost respect. We extend our gratitude to everyone who has traveled with us and continues to support us through challenging times. With new cultural initiatives planned for the coming year, we will persist in empowering local communities as they recover from adversity.
Let’s embrace the new year with gratitude and a much-needed positive shift. Here’s to hoping that 2021 brings us limitless adventures, enriching cultural experiences, and stories that fill our lives with joy! Wishing everyone a peaceful, healthy, and hopeful New Year!
