Our aim is to inspire people to travel and to know the unknown.

Since our first year (2013) we have organized 500+ events, where 70.000+ day visitors heard 500+ travel presentations and movies.

Our events are funded by more than 80 % through the sales of our admission tickets. To improve the quality of our events, we’re searching for partners who would like our project and see a certain potential in it, either by making their products/services more visible or just by supporting a good idea out of joy.

If you’d like to become one of our partners, we’d be happy if you’d choose one of the partners’ packages.

We’re organizing a big festival tour twice a year (in spring and autumn). The prices are listed for one cycle: spring (all events from January to June) or autumn (from July till the end of the year). One year partnership lasts 365 days from the start of cooperation.
