Supporting Communities and the Environment
Who we support
To be a true actor and a game changer in the tourism industry, we always ask ourselves:
" What if we can harvest the tourism ? What if we can think about the tourism differently ? What if tourism was based on helping local people ? What if tourism is actually investing and supported the places that people come to visit ?"
Building Connections
Empowering Local Communities
Travel Differently supports tour operators that cherish the rural and indigenous communities. We help our travelers to create connections with the local people through activities and home stays. We encourage a two-way conversation, because we are convinced that travel is about education and that we should ask more questions in order to add value to the places that we visit!
Save the Planet
Empowering Local Communities
Our partners and local communities that we visit, work hard to protect their surroundings  to preserve the planet and their heritage. Travel differently supports programs that benefits the local communities and help to conserve the environment.
‍
The Travel Differently team and its partners care about the places they offer to visit and we believe that tourism can help to improve environmental well-being, not damage the natural resources and environment.
We recommend the following activities be avoided to protect the natural environment and the people that live there :
- Activities motivated by tourism that lead to the degradation of ecosystems, animal abuse.
- Use of single-use plastics during the whole trip.
Â
For each trip booked with us, we donate to an environmental project through our partnership with EcoTree.
5% for the planet
Our travelers contribute to reduce the carbon footprint thanks to our partner EcoTree (B-Corp certified), and our "1 traveler, 2 trees" program.
Our commitment is simple, every time a traveler books a trip, we plant trees. This is one of the actions we are implementing to offer a more conscious travel towards the planet and its populations !
Travel Differently reinvests for each trip (not including ecolodges) 5% of its profits to buy trees on your behalf !
