The Rise of Impact Travel

by Bianca Caruana October 7, 2018March 31, 2019

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.

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

 

I Like Local is another platform that offers such experiences. Click here to read what the platform offers.
