Tourism Cares Meaningful Travel Map

Are you looking for authentic, sustainable tourism experiences for your guests? The Tourism Cares Meaningful Travel Map is an interactive global map that showcases sustainable, community-led organizations, products, services, accommodations, and tours, creating a positive impact on local communities, the environment, and travelers.

What is Meaningful Travel?

Meaningful travel ensures direct benefits for host communities, protects cultural and environmental assets, and connects guests with destinations in a deeper, more responsible way. To be included on the Tourism Cares Meaningful Travel Map, organizations must prioritize:

• Community Involvement - Ensuring that tourism brings sustainable economic benefits, especially to those not traditionally impacted positively by tourism.

• Diversity and Inclusion - Valuing people from all backgrounds and perspectives, including BIPOC, LGBTQ+, disabled, and woman-owned.

• Cultural Preservation - Protecting and respecting local cultural heritage, including traditions, practices, and historical sites.

• Positive Impact - Including non-profits, social enterprises, B Corps, and other organizations dedicated to making a positive impact in tourism.

• Environmental Responsibility - Aligning with Nature Positive Travel & Tourism principles to conserve the environment, enhance biodiversity, and reduce carbon emissions. 

• Local Experiences - Creating immersive experiences that allow guests to gain a deeper understanding of the local people and places they visit.
