History
YOLO World Travel was the response to seeing that much of the vacations offered by the travel industry are non-personal, cookie-cutter, unimaginative, and indifferent to the individual traveler. They offer you the cheapest prices for the same trips to the same destinations seeing the exact same sites in a whirlwind fashion, and in a manner that tends to have a high negative impact on the local communities. You spend your precious vacations days with other tourists not interacting with the people that live there and not getting a chance to be a part of the local culture. You stay at the big, conglomerate international chains where tourism money goes to the foreign location of the company rather than staying in the local communities. There is a better way to go on vacation. And, so YOLO World Travel was born to provide more selective, personal, thoughtful and higher-quality vacations.
