Transparency

Inclusion of people and places is by merit of being Earth Changers: the demonstrable results from true commitment to sustainable development through tourism, which we explain. Earth Changers is an awarded Travelife Partner in recognition of long-term efforts regarding sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility. 

Inclusion on Earth Changers site is not determined by awards or certifications – too many have questionable credibility, and often truly sustainable organisations do not have resources to pursue such accreditations, but prioritise resources into their purpose and making an impact.

The site is not paid advertising nor subscription for inclusions. We so earn a referral commission paid by our partners: you pay a direct booking price and not more.

Convenience

We curate this unique collection of outstanding positive impact tourism to help guide you. We facilitate your booking for your convenience directly to maximise benefits for the local places, people and purpose.
