Background
As a tour operator running holidays in some of the world’s more deprived regions, we strive to leave a positive social footprint in our host communities. Our aim is to provide women with access to training, equipping them with the knowledge and skills required to pursue a fulfilling and prosperous career as a guide. We prioritise this, in the knowledge that economic growth and social development are more likely to flourish where women are empowered to fully participate in labour forces.
Why did we choose this project?
When given the opportunity, women are effective agents of change in combatting the climate crisis. We are also mindful of what a difference a good guide can make to the enjoyment of your holiday. And we know that in countries where women are already fulfilling the role of guide, they are among some of our clients favourite travelling companions.
