SUSTAINABILITY
Let’s Go Somewhere Good
We all may be on different journeys to sustainable travel, but we're all headed toward the same place.
We all want to make our world a better place. Tourism Cares believes sustainability is one way to help us do just that. Changing the world can certainly feel overwhelming, and engaging in more sustainable practices is not always as easy as we wish it were. Once we start making more responsible choices within our businesses, the learning, growing and evolving never ends.
Sometimes the best way to learn is from learning from those who are implementing change themselves. This is the power of a community.
We welcome everyone in the travel space, no matter where you are on your journey.

SPOTLIGHT: THE PEOPLE + PLACES OF TOURISM CARES
Seeing Hands Nepal | Destination Disaster Recovery Grantee
When the devastation of the April 25, 2015 earthquake in Nepal struck, Tourism Cares urged the industry to fund immediate relief efforts – and to reserve some giving specifically for Nepal’s tourism industry and its long-term recovery. Together, we've raised more than $90,000 from more than 220 companies and individuals for recovery. One grantee was Seeing Hands Nepal, a social enterprise with three clinics serving locals, expats and tourists—giving those who cannot see the opportunity for one of the best professions in Nepal.
