Who we are
Our mission: to leave the world better than we found it, enriching our travelers with sustainable and valuable experiences during their journeys.
Awareness
We promote a way of traveling that is an authentic and profound experience, in which cultures and traditions are discovered with sincere eyes.
Traveling with awareness means not only understanding who we are through encounters with different realities, but also being open to reflection and redefinition of our values and worldview.
Our values
Awareness raising
Our goal goes beyond simply informing; we aim to stimulate a deeper awareness that inspires action and understanding. Our choices reflect this vision, proposing new perspectives.
Travel World Escape trips promote reflection and knowledge. We believe that our travelers can help build a better world, sensitized by their experiences.
Sustainability
For us, the concept of sustainability embraces both environmental, social and economic aspects in a synergistic version.
This all translates into supporting the local economy, respecting and protecting the environment and local traditions to make each trip an opportunity for cultural exchange and mutual growth.
WHO WE ARE.
Established in 2019, TWE is a tour operator formed by a team of professionals with extensive experience in the tourism industry. TWE is us: entrepreneurs, creatives and dreamers, united by a passion for the world and a desire to shape an innovative, more practical and conscious tourism.
For us, travel is both work and life. We are the first to engage every day, actively participating in the preservation of the planet. We carry forward the idea that travel is first and foremost an experience of contact with the place of destination, an opportunity to discover with sincere eyes the cultural and more traditional aspects of the country visited.
Regenerative tourism is our mantra
Constantly focused on reinventing our work, we step out of traditional patterns and realize that we are not alone: thanks to our membership in a number of important organizations worldwide, we have activated networking that allows us to relate to those who have set themselves the same goals as us. In collaboration with various independent entities and academia, we can say that we are part and source of change.
After years of traveling to the remotest places on the planet and qualifying experiences in the world of tourism, I come to a time in my life where I review what has been done, feeling the need to look at things from a different perspective, closer to the issues of environmental and social sustainability.
This is where I asked myself how to match the immense passion for travel with the deepest desire to change things.
Travel World Escape today represents a concrete response to my vision. Because change in the entire system must start with the individual traveler, our role is to raise their awareness and provide them with the right tools to travel mindfully, together preserving that natural magic that the world holds for us.

The distinctive value of our journey
LEARN WITH US
We offer opportunities to visit local associations and community-run small businesses with unique workshops to learn new arts and crafts, thus helping to support local businesses.
WILDLIFE LOVERS
We organize activities in close contact with animals for travelers to get to know them, admire them and actively participate in their protection. We visit the best sanctuaries and places dedicated to animal protection.
Experiencing nature
We offer unique and sought-after excursions, all of which are marked by respect for the surrounding environment. Our priority is to enjoy nature without compromising it.
LOCAL CUISINE
Our careful selection includes tastings, street food, local restaurants and taverns, offering an authentic dining experience that enriches travelers’ cultural background.
Historical treasures
We place great emphasis on visits to historical sites, monuments and cultural symbols. We organize visits in a way that minimizes crowding and ensures a more authentic and fulfilling experience for both the traveler and the destination.
sustainable transportation
We promote sustainable mobility with walking routes, bicycle tours, the use of public transportation, and electric safaris. Our commitment is to minimize environmental impact while traveling.
AUTHENTIC NIGHTS
All selected facilities meet strict sustainability criteria. Most of them are managed by locals, ensuring direct benefits to the destination. On some trips, we offer the opportunity to be hosted by local families, opening the doors of their homes for a unique experience.
IN CONTACT WITH COMMUNITIES
Experiencing the destination in close contact with local communities provides an authentic experience, allowing total immersion in the culture and providing direct community support.
Sustainability
We wish to bring to light the most sustainable and regenerative elements of our journey. This could include a hotel’s sustainability policy, a unique experience, our local partner’s commitment to destination improvement, or preference for low-impact transportation
Our vision
Experiences of awareness
We want the traveler to feel immersed in the destination through more mindful experiences.
More than just trips that make the traveler an active part of the journey, in meeting the people, protecting the endemic flora and fauna, and discovering and respecting the culture of the country visited. The traveler takes care of the context and at the same time learns from it, appreciating its most authentic peculiarities, taking home the most valuable souvenir: an experience of awareness.
Our mission statement
A journey that begins at CARE. A concept that represents the premises and purpose of each of our journeys: to imagine a new traveler. The Regenerative Tourism we promote extends the very concept of sustainability and travel, facilitating inclusive and useful actions to concretely improve the host destination.
A “global journey” that involves us all, with the goal of leaving each place better than we found it, through sensitivity and protection of environmental and socio-cultural aspects. We are constantly looking for new places and solutions that develop investment opportunities for current and future generations.
CARE is a meaning that belongs to us, where each letter tells a value; C.A.R.E. is Community Environment Respect Equity.
CARE
Community
The welfare of a community is a fundamental obligation for all.
People matter and share the right to have their basic needs met. Tourism can be a tool for enriching host communities because it can make them stronger, preserving their identity and transmitting it over time.
CARE
Environment
Preserving the biodiversity of an ecosystem is the wisest and most forward-looking path.
Caring for the natural environment has always been an integral part of human life and our planet. That is why we choose tools that mitigate climate impacts, reducing transportation emissions and promoting the circular use of land resources.
CARE
Respect
Respect for cultural differences to understand our future.
Knowing the diversity and similarities between cultures fuels understanding and fosters connections between peoples. Therefore, regulating the number of visitors can improve the quality of visitation by facilitating the blending of cultural identities without disrupting current communities.
CARE
Equity
Equitable distribution of benefits to benefit local communities.
We incentivize tourism businesses that operate with fairness and transparency. Our choices are in support of small businesses in the area, for a redistribution of wealth and the improvement of local supply chains that can offer superior products and experiences.
