Micro-adventures: the future of tourism?

The micro-adventure is the latest trend in France for discovering new destinations at the last minute! Inexpensive and requiring very little planning, it is proving a huge hit in these tricky holiday seasons!

1. What is it?The micro-adventure comes down to a few key ingredients:

• Short, over a weekend for instance
• Simpleto organise
• Inexpensive
• Closeto home
• Kind to the environment

This new way of travelling is driven by a need to switch off, to get back to simplicity and to what really matters. The idea at the heart of the micro-adventure? A desire to respect the environment while still discovering new places.

2. Why is the micro-adventure worth it?With very little money and almost no planning, you can head off and discover new places. So why hold back?

What's more, with the current health crisis, you never quite know where you can travel, so you may as well take the chance to find out what your own town or region has to offer. And it is always far nicer to know a thing or two about where you live: there is nothing sadder than tourists turning up who know the area better than you do!

Finally, we don't know about you, but we find that the shorter the trip, the more we tend to make the most of it and pack it full. And if you set off with a free mind, without a firmly fixed plan, you will get far more enjoyment out of every activity! Discover historic monuments, little-known museums, small restaurants you would never have stepped into had you followed a guidebook...Would you like to offer your guests this kind of short experience too? It's easy! With StyQR and our "around you" module, you can list every activity (restaurants, walks, viewpoints, shops) to enjoy right on your doorstep!
