Why sightDOING?
Experiential travel is one of the most recent trends in travel. It’s about participation, not observation — and in order to share these authentic experiences, you need a partner who shares something beyond cookie cutter marketing. This is even more true post-pandemic: travelers recognize what a privilege travel is and don’t want to waste their time “just checking the box”.
Travelers who enjoy sightDOING are the type of people who fully discover and immerse a destination. That means longer visits, more dollars spent, a connection beyond the Instagram photo, and the possibility of falling in with somewhere so much that they’re already planning a return before they even get on a flight home.
