The first and biggest virtual museum about travel and tourism. The Museum of Travel and Tourism was established in 2016, somewhat serendipitously. It initially began its journey as a platform for digital mediation. Over the years, the portal has curated content presenting diverse perspectives on the tourism industry, and, much to our surprise, it has transformed into a frequently visited hub, amassing over 642'185 visits from 2016 to 2023.
As the world becomes increasingly accessible, the allure of exploring every corner of our planet grows stronger. However, not all destinations are advisable for travel.

Travel is not just about seeing new places; it's also about tasting them. Every destination has its own unique flavors, dishes that tell stories of culture, tradition, and history. Embarking on a culinary odyssey allows travelers to explore the world through their taste buds, creating memories that are as flavorful as they are unforgettable. From the spicy street foods of Bangkok to the sophisticated pastries of Paris, each location offers a distinct culinary experience. Tasting traditional dishes is like taking a journey into the heart of a culture. It's about understanding the local way of life, the regional ingredients, and the ancestral cooking methods that have been passed down through generations.

These institutions are dedicated to showcasing the art, history, and science of travel, offering visitors an opportunity to embark on a journey through time and space without leaving the museum walls.
