PROFESSIONAL MEMBERSHIP
Tourism Cares Professional Membership
YOU can support the people + places of travel.
As travel professionals, we are all travelers first. We work in an industry that allows us to see and share the world - from beautiful natural wonders to communities rich in culture and tradition, to hidden treasures ready to explore.
We have a responsibility to ensure that travel generates the most positive impacts for the people and places of travel. By joining the Tourism Cares Professional Membership program, as an individual, you personally share in our collective effort to use tourism as a force for good.
For a $99 annual donation, you become part of a global community.
“I’ve worked in travel for almost 20 years and believe we have a responsibility to make a positive impact in the world. By personally supporting Tourism Cares, I can align my passion with an opportunity to help destinations I don’t necessarily get to reach through my own work. It’s been incredibly rewarding to be involved.”
— Dan Flores, VP of Business Development, Maverick Aviation Group

National Civil Rights Museum | Tourism Cares Grantee
Through our partnership with Globus Family of Brands, Tourism Cares awarded a grant to the National Civil Rights Museum to fund their tour Guide Professional Development program, a vital component of the visitor’s experience. Due to increased demand with the ever-growing numbers of annual visitors, the museum continues to provide ongoing professional development for tour guides so that they are able to continue providing the excellent visitor experience they are known for.
