Introduction to the Tourism Cares Meaningful Travel Map
A Meaningful Product Development Tool
The way we package travel needs to evolve in order to tackle increasing global challenges and rising consumer demand for more authentic, sustainable travel experiences. In order for travel to be a force for good, it should be designed to empower communities, protect the environment and make the best places to visit, the best places to live.
As a result, Tourism Cares has created the Meaningful Travel Map - a B2B tool that helps the travel trade and sustainably-minded travelers easily find organizations making positive social and environmental impact in their destinations. This interactive global map directly connects travel professionals to impact experiences, products, services and tours that are bookable and ready to explore.
Directly connect with businesses, non-profits, and social enterprises that offer unique and hands-on cultural experiences, products, and services for travelers and add them to your travel itineraries. By incorporating meaningful travel into your operations, you will have a competitive advantage for your business and direct impact on the people + places of travel.
Build a Meaningful Travel Supply Chain
Meaningful travel ensures direct benefits for host communities, protects cultural and environmental assets, and connects guests with destinations in deeper way. By working together, we will create a unified industry that serves people and places in an equitable and sustainable manner. Let’s use travel as a force for good!
