"Saving visitors time and money with logical connections, supporting local experts and operators."

The global TOURISM 1 system, integrated with a range of  independent resources such as TOURISM NORTH AMERICA and TOURISM WESTERN EUROPE, along with our TRANSCANADA TOURISM network, is the realization of a decades-old vision. The designs reflect how I prefer to experience local content when making short-list selections: Direct, relevant, comprehensive and reliable, with a dynamic, mobile-responsive user interface.

TOURISM SOUTH AMERICA is focused on providing visitors with a convenient and reliable overview of this diverse destination, while also offering an extremely cost-efficient channel for interested tourism organizations to effectively promote their products and services.

Our consumer-friendly approach is driven by Inspiration and Motivation: the WHAT, WHERE, WHO and especially WHY of travel, so that users can learn directly about the destination and their activity options from qualified independent sources.

The HOW of travel has become an intensely competitive activity, with tourism products sold as commodities for large commissions by multi-billion dollar booking robots and meta-search engines that dominate the global marketplace. Fortunately, with the efficient connection tools we provide, preparation can still be an enjoyable and convenient part of the adventure – you just might discover a unique experience and even HOW to book directly - saving money!

We stress consistency and independence.  Unrestricted by obligations to external organizations or political boundaries, we're able to include anything that might be of value to users, while avoiding the clutter of random syndicated advertising and disguised sales funnels. We do not profit from any of the related sales transactions on this site - we are purely a communication channel...keeping everyone's costs down and our integrity clear.  Throughout our network we strive to provide connections to local experts and operators - it's a whole new level of CHOICE, yet with a familiar feeling across all 100+ sites.

National launch is planned for mid-2019 (this is a spare time project on a small budget) ... See below for key elements in that roll-out.  

All tourism organizations should check out our advance participation options - it's just pennies a day to enjoy an enhanced role in this adventure...note, placement order on a selected site page is first-come, first-served!

I hope that as this approach evolves it becomes even more fun, useful and human.
Here's to inspiration…enjoy TOURISM SOUTH AMERICA!                                Keith Baldwin (Sooke, BC)
