Amazing Moments Scouting

12 days, 5 countries, 3 rivers, 22 amazing moments and endless warmth and hospitality. After such an intense and impressive time, back at the homebase of the Trail Angels, it is time to reflect on my past work trip.

The goal of these two weeks was to scout extraordinary experiences in the areas of nature, culture and cuisine, in order to make the local specialties as tangible as possible for the future guests of this still so new travel destination – the Amazing Moments.

What are those Amazing Moments? The Amazing Moments are experiences along the bike route of the Amazon of Europe Bike Trails, which are supposed to represent the region and its culture and are made tangible for the guest. Thereby an immersion into the soul of the region is to be made possible. In the focus is always also the direct encounter with the local population, which are involved as a guide, teacher or host. Whether as a master potter, dog handler in the truffle hunt or ranger in the Drava-Danube Nature Park. After all, it’s always the people who make the difference.

Throughout my scouting trip, I was always welcomed with open arms and true hospitality. Even despite language barriers here and there, I always had the feeling of being welcome and well taken care of.

Our task within this DTP project (link on project page) is the product development of further flagship products, which should increase the attractiveness and the offer of the travel destination Amazon of Europe. We try to bundle the potentials of the individual countries in the best way and to let the destination appear strong on the market. This is the product development of the Amazing Moments and the River Journey, which is a guided multi-day canoe tour along the most beautiful river sections of the region. Both will be offered as part of the official booking center starting in 2023.
