Our market is national. All of us (in the industry) want to live here. We love the outdoors, and what greater place is there to live than the Pacific Northwest?
Some only have a dung hut to stay in.
People want more meaningful travel experiences and they are finding them in interactions with people from different cultures. More than half of our clients come to us for cultural travel.
