The concept of nanotourism stands in critical and creative opposition to the ecological, economic, and social effects of dominant mass tourism. It’s defined as a location-specific,

participative, and locally oriented bottom-up alternative that motivates exchange between providers and travelers through co-creative approaches and knowledge transfer. The exhibition showed various forms of this kind of tourism, which international designers, architects, and institutions, inspired by the AA nanotourism Visiting School and BIO – Biennial of Design in Ljubljana, have initiated since 2014.
