“it was natural for ChildSafe to choose Planeterrra as our partner, as we are both committed to the business of changing lives for the better. Planeterra’s dedication to ensuring the welfare and protection of children in the travel industry reinforces the key messages of ChildSafe, and their position as a global leader in sustainable and responsible tourism means that through our partnership, more communities, families and children can enjoy the benefits that tourism brings, in a protective environment. ChildSafe Movement is proud to partner with Planeterra – Together, protecting children!”

“Our community as a workshop benefits tremendously from Planeterra – there are lulls now and again but by and large, tour groups help us pay the rent; our community as a town relies heavily on tourism – the best change I notice is more young waiters speaking English!”

“When I joined G Adventures 12 years ago I quickly realized how lucky I was to find myself working for a company where doing good business comes from intentionally helping communities around the world – that’s why the 12 years (and more years to come). I’m doing something right and for something honourable. And it’s really all about our business model. Without Planeterra our business would not have the kind of positive impact that we bring to communities around the world. Thank you Planeterra for all that you do”

“The immersive, cultural experiences that would be missed without the integration of Planeterra partners into G Adventures itineraries help educate travellers in a special and invaluable way. The partnership not only aligns with my own values but I know every day in my role I am ensuring that travel is used as a force for good”

“GSTC’s impact-driven mission in becoming an agent of change in the world of sustainable tourism is well aligned to Planeterra’s determination to use tourism as a catalyst to enhance the local community’s lives, and protect the environment as well as their culture. Both organizations will continue to share knowledge and adoption strategies for sustainable tourism practices”

“It’s giving people the gift of opportunity and self-determination, rather than simply handouts – which are never as effective.
Having visited some Planeterra projects, you can see the impact you are making on the ground by supporting the foundation – it’s tangible and real. I can’t think of a better way to give back”

“Planeterra doesn’t think that it knows everything and directs what people should do, it listens and supports. So respectful. So empowering. So sustainable”
