Why Experience Buddy is Essential for Tourism? Experience Buddy is essential for tourism because we bridge the gap between those who discover hidden gems, the locals, and travelers seeking unique experiences. In rural areas, digital technology adoption might be slower, making it harder for these authentic experiences to reach a wider audience. We believe everyone has unique stories and experiences to share, which are invaluable assets in today's world. Our platform makes it easy to value and communicate these experiences in an accessible format. Key Trends Driving Demand for Rural Tourism: ▪️ COVID-19 Shifts: The pandemic forced a shift from urban to rural travel, revealing the beauty of nature and the opportunity for self-reconnection. ▪️ Personal Privacy and Comfort: People are tired of overpriced restaurants, overcrowded monuments, and the constant presence of tourists and social media. Traveling to hidden gems offers a more private and comfortable experience, away from the hustle and bustle. ▪️ Lifestyle Changes: There's a growing trend towards health-conscious living, with hikes, camping, and outdoor activities becoming increasingly popular. 🌍 Visit www.experience-buddy.com to start your adventure today! 📩 contact@experience-buddy.com 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eV6mssYd #RuralTourism #TravelOffTheBeatenPath #ExperienceBuddy #HiddenGems #NatureTravel #OutdoorActivities

Chester Zoo is ranked third in the table, with 1,835,374 visitors alone in 2023 – a six per cent annual rise. Only the Tower of London and Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew rank higher. It is joined in the table by Tatton Park which was ranked 20th after seeing 720,000 people – a two per cent annual rise - flock to the historic estate in Knutsford.
