In the 15th and 16th centuries, European explorers first encountered the pineapple in the Americas. Astonished by its exotic taste and appearance, they brought it back to Europe, where it quickly became a coveted luxury item. Once displayed at grand galas, a pineapple signaled that no expense was spared for guests, making it a powerful symbol of hospitality and welcome.

As time passed, the pineapple’s association with hospitality became deeply ingrained in Western culture. Even when they became more accessible, the symbolism endured. Today, you'll find pineapples in everything from home décor to logos for hotels and restaurants, continuing to evoke that same spirit of warmth and generosity that captured the imaginations of those early European explorers.

At Project Pineapple, our mission is to reignite the spirit of exploration and authentic hospitality. Inspired by the adventurous journeys of early explorers and the warm welcomes they discovered, we crave immersive travel experiences that transform guests into true travelers, not just tourists. We aim to connect people with the world’s diverse cultures and breathtaking landscapes, fostering genuine connections and unforgeable memories. Through personalized and meaningful journeys, we strive to bring back the joy and wonder of travel as it was meant to be.
