Holistic Travel Plan (HTP) is more than a booking platform — it is a holistic/regenerative ecosystem designed to transform tourism into a force for healing, consciousness, and ecological renewal. Created by sustainable architect and regenerative living advocate João Nascimento, HTP emerged from the deep desire to align travel with purpose, wellbeing, and planet-centered values.
Rooted in João’s two decades of experience in bioclimatic architecture, permaculture, and toxin-free living, HTP offers a curated digital space where both travelers and local residents can discover and book meaningful, sustainable, and soul-nourishing experiences. These include eco-accommodations, retreats, ancestral teachings, organic food, wellness therapies, and cultural events.
HTP was conceived as a response to the fragmentation and superficiality of mainstream tourism platforms — offering instead a values-based, community-driven, and AI-enhanced environment that supports both personal transformation and collective regeneration.
Our Philosophy & 5 Holistic Tourism Principles
HTP is guided by five foundational principles that define our mission and shape every experience on the platform. Together, they form the ethical core of our holistic/regenerative ecosystem.
1. Regeneration & Ecological Restoration
HTP promotes travel that actively restores ecosystems, supports biodiversity, and contributes to environmental healing. We prioritize services aligned with nature — from bioconstruction to rewilding and regenerative agriculture.
2. Toxin-Free Living & Holistic Well-Being
We uplift environments that support physical and emotional health through organic food, natural materials, clean air and water, and holistic practices such as yoga, meditation, and sound healing.
3. Cultural Empowerment & Community Support
HTP honors local wisdom and supports ethical, community-led tourism. We value fair trade, living traditions, and experiences that empower indigenous and local voices while strengthening circular, place-based economies.
4. Conscious Travel & Slow Movement
We encourage intentional journeys marked by presence, depth, and connection. HTP promotes slow travel, low-impact mobility, and experiences that foster relationship with the land and its people.
5. Inner Harmony & Transformational Purpose
Travel can be a gateway to self-discovery. HTP supports services that awaken inner balance, spiritual awareness, and personal growth — turning each journey into a path of conscious evolution.
HTP is legally established as Curiosidade Plena Unipessoal Lda, based in the Algarve, Portugal, and is envisioned as a scalable, global ecosystem supporting regenerative destinations worldwide — including Portugal, Indonesia, Costa Rica, Peru, and beyond.
This is not just a platform. It is a movement.
A living, evolving holistic/regenerative ecosystem where travel meets meaning, and where people, place, and purpose reconnect.
