We provide fair wages, marketing, capacity building, and community development. We especially target gender equality in all our initiatives empowering female entrepreneurs and tour guides.

We work to create impactful and immersive experiences for travelers to learn more about the local culture through arts, dances, crafts, cooking, traditional ceremonies, and more directly from local leaders and residents. We put cultural respect as a priority for all community engagement to generate meaningful connections between travelers and locals.
We believe in the importance of bridging the gap between the nonprofit sector and travelers to create a long-lasting impact. Our individualized method is to collectively take micro-actions to support local development and sustainability initiatives facilitated by our partner organizations. We believe that this approach highlights local leadership and allows travelers to contribute back to the community. Travelers have the ability to create economic opportunities through tourism and promote sustainability efforts that protect our environment and cultural heritage sites.
