What
G Adventures and its nonprofit partner Planeterra have debuted five new projects that focus on empowering women and their communities. The experiences are built into itineraries and are part of the Project 100 initiative — a commitment to have 100 Planeterra projects within G Adventures tours in 2020.
Why It Matters
According to G Adventures, more than 2,800 women will be positively impacted by these projects annually. Advising clients to use their travels to support local communities will show that you’re not just thoughtful about their needs, but also of the people and places that travel impacts.
Fast Facts
- Additional experiences include visiting a homeless shelter in Greece and helping pick up plastic in the Maldives.
