Dear friends, during our honeymoon in Madagascar last summer we have met some local touristic guides, very warm, friendly and professionally extraordinary, in fact they have a local university to become official tourist guide. We felt in love for this simple and open population, but we have also realized unfortunately all major incomes, coming from tourism, are in the hands of foreigner that established hotels, amenities excursions and of course the guide services. In this way these operators will never be able to create their own local business and they are not even supported from their State Organization. That is why with "our" guide and friend, Stephan, we decided to encourage him and a few of his colleagues, in creating their own first "fully local" guide agency. We have moreover supported them in evaluating how to create a special type of travel itinerary, to be accomplished by passionated mountain bikers, because this land offer incredible offroad scenarios, instead of the "conventional" jeep transportation. But still we have to overcome the problem of their financial situation, that is too poor to afford the initial capital investment for such activities, including establishing the needed insurance contracts to protect the visitors. We have therefore the needs for rising as much as possible to allow them to start safely and steadily their new business..... and of course you will be also all invited to visit their amazing island! thanks. Francesco
