Introducing our Enriching Escapes

We’ve partnered with The Travel Foundation to develop a new approach to itinerary development – one that works towards tourism having a more positive impact on destinations. These carefully curated trips are designed to bring out the best of the regions you’ll navigate, creating connections and memories that will last a lifetime.

Who are The Travel Foundation?

The Travel Foundation is an international sustainable tourism NGO dedicated to ensuring that tourism has a positive impact on destinations. They work in countries around the world supporting tourism organisations to accelerate change towards a resilient tourism model that puts resident communities at its centre.

Travel Counsellors has been a proud supporter of the Travel Foundation for a number of years and have worked together on several projects around our shared aim of making travel more sustainable.

“We’ve collaborated with Travel Counsellors and destination partners to create a framework for itinerary building that includes more opportunities to support local communities and the environment, whilst reducing negative impacts. The end result is as much about improving the experience for customers as it is about raising the bar on sustainability.”

Rebecca Armstrong, Head of Impact at the Travel Foundation

Who do these itineraries impact?

First of all, there’s you, the traveller. These exciting new itineraries to destinations such as Costa Rica, Cambodia, and Thailand have been designed with the help of destination experts to ensure they include the most engaging and authentic experiences.

Then, there’s the people on the ground, those that you’ll meet along the way (like Marielo) who are using travel to better their lives through inviting visitors in for a taste of their homeland.

And there’s the landscapes and wildlife you’ve travelled to enjoy. Working with the Travel Foundation and our destination partners, we’ve included many activities that help to support preservation of natural landscapes and the creatures that call them home.
