We have entered deeper into the new year, and the LocalsFromZero site is saying goodbye. But not quite 😉

We are saying goodbye to our LocalsFromZero profiles and platform only because we are working on something new and better for all our local explorers out there!

The LFZ team has officially partnered with the international cooperative Fairbnb.coop and so we are renaming our LocalsFromZero page to Fairbnb Slovenia through which we will continue to work on our mission to empower, educate, and provide resources to local ''FromZero'' providers and experiences to make them accessible to travelers.

In addition, our team has formed the FromZero Alliance (https://fromzero.global/). Through our research, education and experience design, we will continue to change Work & Travel for the better.

This is our last post under the LocalsFromZero name, and we would like to take this opportunity to thank our experience providers who gave us a chance, our scouts who worked tirelessly to find new experiences, and of course our customers and everyone else who supported our idea.

Every country, every city, even every family has countless traditions that are slowly being forgotten because they do not know how to share them with the world, or because they can not find a space in which to share them.

💡 This is where the LocalsFromZero team comes in. We believe that traditions should be preserved because it makes us unique and we believe that these traditions have the potential to become an important part of experiences.

Therefore, we seek to preserve these traditions by helping to raise awareness of them, educate our followers, and help our providers to create captivating tourism experiences from them.

Did you know that in 1804 a coal mine was founded in Slovenian Trbovlje by an Austrian lawyer named Franz Maurer? Mining had a strong impact on economic growth and laid the foundation for other industries. It made Trbovlje the town we know today.⚒️

Today the mine is closed and used for other activities. To revive the mining tradition, the locals, who are (also) traditionally involved with contemporary art and technology trends, decided to create a unique experience for the young and young at heart. They created an entertaining and educational experience called ESCAPE MINE. Supported by new media tools, your task is to rescue trapped miners .👩‍💻

💡 Not only do we provide unique experiences for adventure travelers and educate our providers, but we are passionate about responsible tourism. 💡

Responsible tourism is not just about caring for the environment and choosing busses and trains over planes, it is more than that. It tends to minimize negative economic, environmental and social impacts, it creates a better environment for locals and tourists alike, it involves local people in decisions that affect their lives, it provides more meaningful connections between travelers and locals, and so much more.

Now you are probably wondering how the LocalsFromZero marketplace contributes to responsible tourism?

Do you consider yourself a responsible traveler? The first step to becoming more responsible is to follow our profiles or book experiences on our platform ➡️ https://www.localsfromzero.org/experience-list

Riding e-bikes is fun, especially when you combine it with the outdoors and discover new places and activities.🚵

But did you know that the very first electric bikes were documented in patent offices in both France and the United States in the 1880s and 1890s? However, one of the first prototypes was not built until 1989 by Yamaha Racing.🚲

Worldwide production of e-bikes grew between 1993 and 2004, and more than 3.7 million e-bikes have been sold each year since 2010. 😱
As many other similar activities, riding e-bikes reduces stress 😌, sharpens mental acuity, and increases overall levels of self-reported happiness and life satisfaction🤗.

Therefore, book an e-bike tour experience 🚵 of your choice on our platform today and discover the wonders of Savinja Valley 🌄.

The LocalsFromZero marketplace is far from an ordinary tourist experience marketplace. Our handy LocalsFromZero team and Scouts are experts in digitization and in many other areas that are critical to building a successful tourism business today.

Maybe not all of our providers have the necessary digital skills, but they are the best at baking bread, making knives, know their city inside and out, can distil the best liquor, or know the best place to have a picnic.
That's why we created this unique platform to help our providers reach their full potential and teach them the skills they're missing.

Recently our team visited a small town called Železniki and its surroundings - we can all confirm that the most beautiful gems are really hidden. ⭐

Our first stop was in Podrovnik, where we met 4 fluffy alpacas and their owners Tjaša and Klemen. The playful alpacas showed us how to walk them and where their favourite lunch spot is. 🙈

Further the way led us to Martinj Vrh, where we enjoyed delicious tarragon potica and cookies in Mojca's workshop. 🍪

We ended the day with Cirila, who is a master at making honey bread. We learned how to make the traditional Dražgoše honey bread, which is also a very important part of Slovenian history and culture. 😌

Beautiful nature, olive trees, company of your favourite people...sounds like a dream! 😍

The owners of House Carcauec know how to make it work!

We OLIVE Carcauec!❤

Plenty of Istrian people produce their own wine and olive oil, but rare are the ones who are experts in this field. Luckily on the farm Carcauec, you will meet one. Jernej finished his agricultural studies and dedicated his work to his olive grooves. The farm of course would not be the same, without...

How are you these days? We hope you're doing well, but if you're not the best version of yourself right now - here's a solution ⬇️

Pamper yourself with a massage 💆🏻‍♀️

Why do we suggest a massage? Because it is the oldest form of medical care 🏥(Egyptian tomb paintings show people being massaged) and people all over the world 🌎 talk about the positive effects of massage - regardless of age or profession. Office workers who get regular massages are more alert, efficient and less stressed than those who don't 👩🏻‍💻, babies (of all ages) fall asleep faster when massaged 👨‍🍼 and people with severe headaches 🤦🏻‍♀️ use massages for pain relief. Therefore - massage is an answer to almost every question. 💁🏻‍♀️

There are different types of massages and everyone has their favourite - if you haven't found yours yet or want to try something special, we have a massage experience ready for you on our platform.

How is the LocalsFromZero experience marketplace different, you ask? 🤔

One of the reasons we are so unique is that our Scouts find enthusiastic and hidden local experts and hosts - and help them become part of the tourism market. This means that most experiences available cannot be found or booked on any other platform!

This key feature of our platform gives you the chance to experience hidden local gems 💎 on your travels, created not primarily for tourist entertainment, but to preserve traditions, festivals and ceremonies in local communities.

Experience the hospitality of real locals. Set foot in places you've never heard of. Try new things and get involved in local communities!

Today is 22 June and we should all take a moment to think about the rainforest - because today we celebrate World Rainforest Day. 🌴🌳

Of course, we all know this, but as it really is an important fact, let's say it again - rainforests are vital to the survival of life on Earth - the Amazon rainforest alone provides 20% of the oxygen we breathe and the freshwater we drink. 🌍

Rainforests are also home to species of animals and plants that will go extinct if we don't start treating their home properly.

Travel can have a negative impact on the rainforest, among other things. So make sure you travel responsibly (1) towards, (2) inside and (3) back home from the rainforest. Small changes in our behaviour can lead to positive effects on the environment. 💚

Imagine - a business meeting with your colleague including home-made liquor, delicious snacks and a productive, relaxed conversation... A wonderful job, right? 😍

It can be about finding truly authentic locals and local activities that exist in ALL regions, even if tourism is not yet fully there.🌳 It can be about identifying tourism experience ideas that are just emerging "from zero".💡
Scouts help to find such local providers, promote them and turn their ideas into experiences.💖

And then the experiences are ready for tourists to book on the LocalsFromZero booking platform!🏆

Today is June 8 and every single person on our Mother Earth 🌍 should take at least a minute to appreciate our oceans 🌊 - our source of life and also home to millions of species of fish, coral reefs, etc.

The theme for World Oceans Day 2021 is: The Ocean: Life and Livelihoods and it is important that we all recognise that the ocean needs support now. 💪🏼

Here are some tips on how each individual can help support it: ❌Avoid ocean-damaging products (for example, cosmetics that contain shark torture or jewellery made from coral), 🚤 practise safe boating, 🚮 reduce the use of single-use plastic, 🎣 fish responsibly, and 💧 conserve water.

If you are already doing this - in the name of Oceans we say THANK YOU!💙

Our team went on a short break - we were literally in a fairy tale! 😍
We visited a farm V Pravljici - Fairytale Sanctuary, where life is simple and carefree and where good will, positive thoughts and friendly people are part of the daily routine.

Their speciality is that all animals on the farm are rescued - goats, piglets, horses, dogs, cats, hedgehogs, snakes and many other inhabitants.🤗🌻
Did you know, for example, that goat's milk can cure horses' asthma, that pigs also nest and that geese are very emotional animals?🧐

🍀The experience will soon be available on our platform and we would recommend it to anyone who needs a day off and wants to enjoy the company of nice people, a pig named Speedy, goat Zlatko and other residents.

Scottish essayist, poet, and author of fiction and travel books Robert Louis Stevenson once said: ‘’Wine is bottled poetry.’’☺

And today on the 25th of May, it’s time to celebrate everything that makes a wine great - because it's Wine day🍇🍷. Sweet or dry, red or white, fizzy or flat – today it doesn’t matter, choose the one that suits you best and simply enjoy in poetry – the bottled one.😀

And if you want to honour this day with a trip – we have a few suggestions: Maribor (🇸🇮) which boasts with the oldest vine in the world, Speyer (🇩🇪) home of the oldest bottle of wine in the world or maybe Tuscany, (🇮🇹) where the most romantic wine tasting can be experienced. If we forgot about some other special place – or if you have another suggestion, let us know in the comment.⬇️⬇️

But don’t forget to enjoy it responsibly!😉

Today is May 21 and today is the day of heroes who are often forgotten - but they shouldn't be.😁

Let's think of those heroes 🦸‍♂️🦸‍♀️ who make our daily lives easier and happier - the barista who remembers exactly how you like your coffee ☕, the waiter at the restaurant next door who knows how much you hate beetroot in your salad 🥗 or the one who brings you a drink without ice 🧊 - because you get a sore throat when you drink cold drinks.

You see? They really are heroes and today we are the ones who should make their day a little brighter - let's go eat out and then give a generous tip, compliment or just a big smile with a thank you.🥰

Show respect and gratitude every day to everyone, but today especially to the waitstaff. ❤

Hello dear all 😊

Today is the second Wednesday in May and we have been celebrating Receptionists Day on this day since 1991!

In the other post we talked about the importance of all professions in tourism and receptionists are definitely one of them. They are usually the first people we meet in the hotel - so they are the ones who make the first impression.

But their job involves much more than just dealing with guests, they also manage online and phone reservations, inform customers about payment options, work with housekeeping staff to make sure all rooms are in perfect condition, respond to customer complaints, etc.

In short - receptionists are heroes and today is their day!

🇸🇮 Za nami je tako še ena uspešna zgodba s terena! ⭐

Tokrat smo se mudili v Aparthotelu Triglav v Bohinju, kjer smo skupaj z organizatorjem - podjetjem Brez dobička, izvedli delavnico za tamkajšnje lokalne turistične deležnike. Z njimi smo razpravljali o vsebinah, povezanih s programom »Impact Tourism-a« in rezultatih uspešno zaključenega projekta PKP Impactour, na katerem so "produkte z učinkom" (za hotele v lasti kriptomiljonarja Merlaka v Bohinju in Hitove igralniške produkte v Kranjski Gori) aktivno razvijali študentje UP FTŠ Turistice in EF UL. Glavni cilj delavnice je bil razviti konkretne lokalne turistične produkte ter pakete s pozitivnim družbenim učinkom, ki jih bo podjetje Alpinia vključilo v ponudbo za goste v Bohinju. Del delavnice je bil namenjen tudi predstavitvi iniciative " ''. 🌐

Udeleženci so bili zadovoljni in bi si takšnih dogodkov v prihodnje želeli še več!

* 🤝Delavnica je bila izvedema v sodelovanju s podjetjem Alpinia ter ob podpori Slovenske turistične organizacije – STO .

🇬🇧 Another success story from the field! ⭐

This time we visited Aparthotel Triglav in Bohinj, where together with the organizer - the company Brez dobička, we conducted a workshop for local tourism stakeholders. We discussed with them the contents related to the "Impact Tourism" program and the results of the successfully completed PKP Impactour project, in which "products with effect" (for hotels owned by crypto-millionaire Merlak in Bohinj and Hit casino products in Kranjska Gora) were actively developed by students of UP FTŠ Turistica and EF UL. The main goal of the workshop was to develop concrete local touristic products and packages with a positive social impact, which the company Alpinia will include in their offers for guests in Bohinj. Part of the workshop was also dedicated to the presentation of the " " initiative. 🌐

The participants were satisfied and would like to see more of such events in the future!

* 🤝The workshop was carried out in cooperation with the company Alpinia and with the support of the Slovenian Tourist Board - STO.
