The team
De Reis Naar Morgen originated from a shared passion for travel, sustainability and the science behind it. Babet de Hoon, Lisalou Pam and Myrthe Naus started De Reis Naar Morgen in 2020. All three of us started our careers in the tourism sector after completing a bachelor’s degree in Tourism Management. Our paths crossed a few years later while following a master’s degree program in Tourism, Society and Environment at the University of Wageningen. Here we immersed ourselves in the relationship between tourism, society and the environment from a socio-ecological perspective. We completed our degrees right after the Covid-19 pandemic shook tourism internationally. Discussion around sustainable tourism and the right way to restart the industry are now receiving a lot of attention.
We are determined to use our multidisciplinary knowledge for these issues. We do this with a critical, scientific, and always practical view. Thanks to our great enthusiasm, different characteristics and solid mutual cooperation, we form a strong team and are able to offer new solutions for De Reis Naar Morgen.

Lisalou Pam
Lisalou is a fast thinker and is able to quickly understand complex problems and make connections within them. Creativity and ingenuity are central to her working method and often lead to surprising and innovative perspectives and solutions.
