Some never go out without their cell phone, others without mascara. Some of us, wouldn’t think twice about being accompanied by our pets, regardless of the destination.

We know agritourism, slow tourism and responsible tourism, but have you ever heard of pet-friendly tourism? It’s the art of traveling with your trusty companion.
