Positive Impact Tourism

😋 Travel tastes better when it's shared.

Some of the most meaningful moments in travel happen around a shared meal.

In India, Jamaica, Bali, Thailand (and more), our itineraries invite you to go beyond simply tasting local cuisine.

Step into the experience of preparing and sharing food with locals, artisans, children, and community members. 

Different places.
Different people.
One simple act of connection that will leave you smiling & satisfied.

Travel can connect generations🫶
We often think of giving back in travel as something we do for children. But what about the people who carry stories, traditions and generations of wisdom?

Across our itineraries, we've made space to connect with and support this 'forgotten group in tourism': elderly community members.

From
🇺🇿 sharing homemade manty with elderly women in Uzbekistan,

🇳🇵Supporting the Manjushree Elderly Home in Nepal with supplies, to

🇮🇩 Cooking and gathering with elders in Sulawesi, Indinesia,

These moments remind us that travel is also about honoring the people who came before us.

🫶 Because their stories deserve to be heard and preserved.

And these are just a few of our itineraries that include elderly-focused activities across Africa, Europe, South America and Asia.

🌱 What if your next trip to Africa could leave something behind that actually grows?

Across 🇺🇬 Uganda, 🇲🇬 Madagascar, 🇹🇿 Tanzania and 🇰🇪 Kenya, our itineraries include opportunities to plant trees alongside local communities. 

Contribute to reforestation, support livelihoods, and become part of something that lasts far beyond your journey. 

🌱 Planting a tree make take only a moment, but its impact lasts for generations!

What if your next trip wasn't just about where you go, but who you meet? 

Travel becomes unforgettable when it connects you with people, not just places. 

From
* Meeting Marron communities in Suriname 🇸🇷 to
* Learning from the Tsachilas and Kichwa in Ecuador🇪🇨,
* Sharing stories with Mayan communities in Mexico 🇲🇽 and Guatemala🇬🇹, and
* Discovering traditions with Quechua and Aymara peoples in Bolivia🇧🇴

These are the moments that really stay with you long after you return home.

🤪 Happy 1st of April!
Even though our post wasn't true, the way that travelers behave while being abroad is a hot topic.

From taking selfies and recording videos while being in the way of others, to stepping over signs and onto protected soil, to taking photos with wild animals.

People, locals and other travelers alike, are getting fed up.
And who knows, those fines might become a reality...

In fact, the town of Portefino in Italy has already implemented 'no-waiting' zones in 2023 to prevent people from taking selfies in popular, narrow coastal areas.

In Fujikawaguchiko, Japan, a black screen was put up to block a popular Mount Fuji photo spot to prevent traffic congestion and littering.

But are fines and regulations the future we want?

What do you think?

🚨Travel update🚨

New travel regulations are reportedly being introduced this April to address unwanted travel behaviors, with fines up to $250  👀

From blocking streets for perfect photos to 'reserving' pool beds, authorities are saying these fines aim to make travel more respectful, and more enjoyable for everyone. 

Opinions are divided.

Some say it's long overdue.
Others think it goes too far...

Positive impact travel isn’t volunteering. It’s choosing trips that uplift communities without having to compromise on the joy of exploring our world.

It takes away the barriers of volunteering and provides you with travel itineraries that do not make you choose between dedication or vacation.

No more: ‘I have to decide between doing some good or enjoying my vacation.’
With positive impact travel, you can do both! 💚🌍
