You know the value of purpose-driven travel.

You’re not looking to flop on a beach or squish onto an overcrowded cruise ship.

You want to immerse in the local culture, learn from diverse communities, and explore our natural environment.

You can’t stand to see the 4.8 million tons of trash being produced by tourists every year.

You can’t accept the lack of respect and support being given to local communities and indigenous cultures.

You want to see a travel industry that is truly built around people and the planet.

The Rethink Travel Platform is a place for everyone,
from ACTIVISTS and artists to backpackers, educators and entrepeneurs, to come together and create a more just and equitable travel industry.

The Rethink Travel Challenge invites the global community to share their vision of a travel industry that:

Is accessible, diverse, and inclusive

Empowers local communities and preserves indigenous cultures

Promotes environmental justice

SO, HOW DOES ENTERING THE CHALLENGE WORK?
