The Rise of Impact Travel

by Bianca Caruana

Impact Travel is heading mainstream which means a very exciting time for people, like myself, who are passionate about Responsible Tourism!

Basically, Impact Travel means a type of travel experience that is making a positive impact. So in a way it comes under the responsible tourism banner, but I have left this category separate because I want to share with you some ways that you can contribute towards the Impact Travel movement.

Before I tell you I just want to shout out to the wonderful Visit.Org who really pushed Impact Travel to the mainstream. Visit.Org is the world’s largest database of impact travel experiences and their drive and passion has seen recent partnerships with big brands such as Expedia, showing the world that there is a better way to travel.

 

 

Another organisation that promotes impact travel is Backstreet Academy . Watch below how their experiences make a difference to lives of locals in over 15 countries.
