Moldova Tours 3.0 is a start-up company in the field of tourism 2.0 aimed at foreigners, with a thematic approach to its product offer with the objective to take into consideration the personal needs and aspirations of visitors to the Republic of Moldova. Moldova Tours 3.0 offers customized tours to the visitors, with a blend of entry points to discover beautiful Moldova according to their personal aspirations and objectives. The Republic of Moldova is a country with an extraordinary rich culture and History. Yet, it is relatively new in its current sovereign form that we may date back to the independence in 1991 following the collapse of the Soviet Union. It is a country with welcoming people, a vibrant culture, multilingual young people and a sense of openness to the world. We offer thematic tours on a wide range of levels to ensure that your experience is unforgettable for yourself, your family, friends and colleagues.This is how your next summer in Moldova will look like:

The project
I am a French and British academic. I speak four languages, and I am established in Moldova where I have founded this startup of a new kind.
I wish to combine the functionalities of Web 2.0 (Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Instagram) with the discovery of Moldova. I want to kick off with the creation of an interactive 2.0 forum pertaining to Moldovan society, economy and culture. This forum will be exclusively in French and English
I will then draw on the network effect of the 2.0 forum, and offer five distinct tours of the country tailored to your needs and tastes. I have just signed a contract with a Russian programmer based in Chisinau. I urgently need 500 euros for the financing of this platform, which will be both in French and English with themes covering Moldovan culture and society.
The inaugural Moldova Discovery Tour will help you discover a blend of Moldovan tourism destinations and a two-day trip to Transnistria, the breakaway Republic reminiscent of the Soviet Union!
Please watch the video below, which hopefully will make you want to visit Moldova. I thank Alexandru from the National Moldovan Tourism Agency for granting me the rights to use this video for my crowdfunding campaign.
In 2017, I will be offering the following tours
- The Monastery Tour (come and visit the architectural and religious wonders of the country)
- The Nature and History Tour (you will venture into the most remote rural areas of Moldova, and also learn about the fascinating Butuceni culture, the first European civilization more than 7000 years ago). A two-day trip to Bucovina in Romania is also scheduled
- The Wine Tour. Did you know that Moldova has some of the most delicious wines in the world?
We are offering you to travel on the wine route, and visit some of the two largest wine cellars in the world (winetasting is included of course).
- The Corporate Tour, while combining certain features of the above Tours, this one sets out to help potential investors discover Moldova, and provide some networking opportunities with Moldovan business men and women
- Le Academic Tour, born out of the original profession of the founder, this tour offers touristic visits combined with immersion stays within leading Moldovan higher education institutions in order to build a bridge between Moldovan and foreign academics. Who knows, international partnerships, students exchanges and sandwich courses will come out of your visit to Moldova?
Why fund it?
Financing of the online 2.0 forum in the short run
The fixed cost is 1500 euros (contract available upon request)
All in all, I am only requesting 500 euros from the crowdfunders for this project.
April: design of the website and development of the forum
May: first version put online, we will start advertising for the Moldova Discovery Tour, first bookings
June and July: fine-tuning the organization of the Moldova Discovery Tour
August: the inaugural Moldova Discovery Tour organised by our travel agency
Two tours will be offered (maximal capacity: 35 people)
Full Moldova Discovery Tour (10 days from 19 august to 28 august)
Mini Moldova Discovery Tour (6 days from 19 august to 24 august)
consult us for more details
During the stay, travelers will interact everyday on our 2.0 forum with other people from all over the world in order to enable mutually enriching online exchanges thanks to all the functionalities of Web 2.0.
Everybody will be able to download videos, pictures and podcasts about Moldova!
Finally, to thank you for having read this detailed presentation of my project until the end, please find a beautiful song below by Nelly Ciobanu, one of the most famous Moldovan singers. It is an ode to Moldova, a sort of love declaration to this country I hope you will get the chance to discover one day!
