Post-COVID-19, the best practice implemented by Pyko is to sustain mountain jobs by paying guides better based on the number of customers. The focus is on supporting the local economy by exclusively partnering with guaranteed eco-tourism accommodations that source locally. To promote a sustainable mountain environment, no motorized activities are offered. Customers are encouraged to use public transport, especially trains, for their travel.
During the era of the COVID-19 pandemic, ODYSWAY swiftly adapted its strategy to cater to the evolving needs of travelers, while also embracing sustainability as a core principle. With a strategic shift towards local tourism, particularly in France and across Europe, ODYSWAY capitalized on accessible transportation via train routes to facilitate travel during a time of closed borders and restricted mobility. Throughout the period from March to June 2020, ODYSWAY proactively crafted 15 immersive tours within National Parks and Natural Reserves (PN and PNR), focusing on local exploration and supporting regional economies. These new experiences not only showcased the breathtaking beauty of these natural landscapes but also fostered meaningful connections between travelers and the passionate locals residing within them. This shift led to an exclusive partnership with the federation of French natural parks (PNR).

Facing post-pandemic challenges, they prioritized guest safety and flexibility. Moving forward, they seek support for skills, funding, and partnerships to advance their green transition and promote sustainable tourism in Corsica.
In response to COVID-19, France by Locals adopted a sustainable tourism approach, offering unique, off-the-beaten-path experiences that highlight interactions between travelers and locals.

Catering to international, French, and local tourists, the company now targets European markets accessible by train rather than planes. By diversifying tourism away from crowded hotspots and supporting local businesses, it aims to boost local development and minimize environmental impact, thereby contributing to the tourism industry’s sustainability and providing authentic, memorable experiences for travelers.
