About WildyNess
Founded four years ago by Achraf Aouadi and Rym Bourguiba, WildyNess aims to enrich travel experiences in the region by connecting travelers seeking authentic local adventures with micro-entrepreneurs in the tourism sector.
The platform designs unique experiences that highlight local culture and empower small tourism communities.
Achraf Aouadi, Co-founder and CEO of WildyNess, commented:
“This investment reaffirms our belief that the future of travel lies in authenticity and impact, not volume. Generating such organic revenue proves that travelers are seeking genuine cultural connections rather than standardized experiences.”
He added:
“The support from Bridging Angels and African Diaspora Network provides us with both the capital and strategic partnerships needed to scale this Tunisian success story across the MENA region.”
The new funding will enable regional expansion and technological development, positioning WildyNess as a key player in promoting sustainable and community-based tourism across the Arab world.
