PHILANTHROPY

Raising funds to support grass roots projects around the world is a core tenet of The Conscious Travel Foundation, with 50% of membership fees donated directly to carefully chosen projects linked to tourism. From conservation efforts in Africa to sustainable income-generating projects in Latin America, our goal is to help our members support those on the ground working to safeguard people and planet.

    Sergio Taveras, Bonvidó, Dominican Republic

  • “A CORE VALUE OF OUR MEMBERSHIP WITH TCTF LIES IN THE CONNECTION WITH LIKE-MINDED COLLEAGUES IN THE INDUSTRY, LEARNING FROM THEM AND THE RESOURCES THAT ARE PROVIDED THROUGH THE ORGANISATION ITSELF. MEMBERSHIP EXPOSES US TO CONSISTENT DIALOGUE ON THEMES THAT OTHERWISE WE'D STRUGGLE TO ENGAGE WITH AND UNDERSTAND.”

    Peter Fisher, Fisher Private Travel, UK

  • “WE WERE LUCKY TO JOIN THE CONSCIOUS TRAVEL FOUNDATION FROM ITS INCEPTION. ENIGMA WAS ALREADY IN THE PROCESS OF OBTAINING ITS B-CORP CERTIFICATION AND, DESPITE HAVING ALWAYS CONSIDERED BOTH LOCAL COMMUNITIES AND THE ENVIRONMENT AS ONE WITH US, AND RESPECT FOR THEM A KEY PART OF OUR ETHOS, TCTF HAS PROVIDED AN ENLIGHTENING SPACE FOR FURTHER DIALOGUE, INSPIRATION, LEARNING AND EXCHANGE OF IDEAS AMONGST PEERS.”

    Silvia Rico, Enigma, Peru

  • “BEING PART OF THE CONSCIOUS TRAVEL FOUNDATION HAS CEMENTED HOW I THINK ABOUT MY CLIENTS AND HOW THEY ARE OPERATING. IT HAS ALLOWED ME TO DISCUSS SUSTAINABILITY WITH CONSCIENCE AND CONVICTION WITH MY EXISTING CLIENTS AND GET THEM THINKING ABOUT WHAT THEY COULD BE DOING DIFFERENTLY, AND FOCUS ON BRINGING ON NEW CLIENTS WHO ARE DOING SOME REALLY GREAT THINGS ON THE SUSTAINABILITY STAGE.”

    Samantha Williams, Four Corners Marketing, UK
