All about Echo

Who we are

An Echo experience has personality. It’s shaped by the people who host it and grounded in their connection to the place. Because a place is more than just things to see or tickets to book. It’s the people, the stories and the moments that stay with you.

Experiences chosen for what they make you feel

We bring together experiences that offer exactly that. Each one is selected for its quality, its story and the people who bring it to life. You’ll find everything from food and craft to wild landscapes and local culture, always shared by the people who know them best.

Shared by people who care

Our hosts are individuals, small businesses and communities with a genuine connection to what they share. We work with them directly so we know what’s really happening on the ground and that every experience lives up to what it promises.

Built on a shared philosophy

We don’t lead with impact but we build it in. The way we choose, the people we work with, the Foundation we fund. It is all shaped by a shared philosophy of doing things well and doing them for good.

You won’t find endless options. Just the ones that count.

Who we work with

The experiences on Echo start with the people who host them. We work with individuals, small businesses and communities who offer more than just a service. They share something they care about. Whether it’s a place, a practice or a way of life, it comes with real knowledge, warmth and purpose.

It’s about connection

Our hosts are the heart of what makes Echo different. They’re not just guides, they’re people with a genuine link to what they offer and a real reason for wanting to share it. That might be a local chef opening up their kitchen, a nature guide with deep ties to the land or a collective preserving cultural traditions. What they all have in common is care.

A shared philosophy

We don’t ask our hosts to tick boxes. We look for people who already think differently, who care about quality, respect the places they live and work in and want to create something valuable for both guests and their community. That shared philosophy is what holds Echo together. It’s not just about what the experience is. It’s about how it’s done and why it matters.

Real relationships, not just listings

We work with our hosts directly. That means we get to know their stories, understand their experiences and make sure everything we offer reflects what’s really happening on the ground. It’s also how we stay close to quality, build trust and support our hosts in ways that go beyond bookings.

The Echo Foundation

The Echo Foundation supports local projects that help keep travel meaningful and future-friendly. Funded directly by Echo through a portion of our revenue, it backs community-led initiatives that protect culture, nature and the character of the places our experiences take you. It’s simply part of how we do things — a quiet commitment to making sure the impact of your trip goes a little further.
