Although the world is becoming increasingly globalised economically, it is clear that we can also take advantage of this phenomenon from a cultural and human standpoint; by learning, listening and meeting others in their own context and environment."

"I lived in Cosmopolitan New York, this makes me aware of people from a wide variety of different cultural backgrounds - how they live and make their living in diverse and mixed social settings. Social responsibility programmes, like Inka Magik's volunteer projects and support of the charity foundation, is a proactive way to promote education and health and represent a positive experience for the traveller."
