Frequently asked questions
About borGO & Our Mission
-
What is borGO and what makes it different from other tour operators?
borGO is more than a tour operator – it's a movement to revitalize small villages in Abruzzo through authentic, sustainable tourism. Unlike traditional operators, we don't create experiences ourselves. Instead, we partner with local guides, artisans, farms, and cultural associations who know their territories best. What truly sets us apart is our social impact model: a portion of every booking goes into our "Piggy Bank" fund, which is reinvested directly into village regeneration projects through public-private partnerships. When you book with borGO, you're not just visiting Abruzzo – you're actively contributing to its future.
-
What does "Autenticità. Sostenibilità. Comunità" mean in practice?
Our three core values guide everything we do:
- Authenticity: We showcase the real soul of Abruzzo's villages – genuine cultural experiences, traditional craftsmanship, and connections with local people, never tourist clichés.
- Sustainability: Every experience respects the environment and local communities. We promote zero-impact activities, farm-to-table gastronomy, and eco-friendly travel practices.
- Community: We're building a network that benefits everyone – travelers connect meaningfully with locals, profits are reinvested in villages, and young people discover opportunities in traditional territories. You become part of our community, not just a tourist passing through.
-
How does borGO support local villages?
We support villages in three concrete ways: First, 5-10% of every booking goes into our borGO Piggy Bank, a dedicated fund for community regeneration projects. Second, we work directly with local providers – guides, farms, artisans – ensuring approximately 80% of your payment stays in the community. Third, we collaborate with local administrations and associations to develop sustainable tourism strategies, connecting universities for research projects, and creating opportunities for young people to see a future in these historic places.

Who should book a borGO experience?
borGO is perfect for conscious travelers who value quality over quantity. Our experiences attract people who seek authentic connections rather than mass tourism, appreciate sustainable practices, and want their travel to make a positive impact. Whether you're a curious creative looking for inspiration, a manager escaping urban stress, an environmental consultant seeking meaningful travel, or an active retiree with time to explore – if you care about where your money goes and want genuine cultural immersion in small groups (4-15 people), borGO is for you.
