Meet Tourism Cares

As your luxury travel advisors at Bespoke Legacy Luxury Travel, we're thrilled to introduce you to Tourism Cares, an organization that's redefining the impact of travel. With a bold vision of using travel as a force for good, Tourism Cares is uniting the industry to create positive social, environmental, and economic change around the world.

At the heart of Tourism Cares' mission is a steadfast belief that travel can be a catalyst for transformative experiences, both for travelers and the communities they visit. Recognizing the immense power of the tourism industry, Tourism Cares has established a platform for collaboration, leveraging the collective resources and influence of travel businesses, destinations, and local stakeholders.

One of the ways Tourism Cares drives meaningful impact is through its comprehensive Grant program

Over the years, they have awarded nearly $2.5 million in grants to support projects in over 42 U.S. states and 30 countries globally.

The Destination Disaster Recovery Fund helps tourism-reliant destinations recover from natural disasters by restoring critical infrastructure and resources. This bridge-financing keeps community-level businesses open and ready to reopen, provides community-level support, and supports destination and community-level marketing to bring business back to the region.

The Impact Travel Fund invests in the long-term resilience of communities by supporting social enterprises and grassroots organizations that are creating sustainable tourism models. This includes:

Capacity building, upskilling, and training to advance education and employability in the hospitality and tourism industry
Infrastructure grants to scale micro and small businesses and implement more sustainable initiatives
Networking and community building for non-profits to connect with the industry

The Diversity in Tourism Fund directly supports programs and activities that increase diversity, equity, and inclusion within travel. This includes training, certification, talent development, market research, and product development to advance and upskill underrepresented individuals and organizations in the industry.

We're particularly impressed by Tourism Cares' Meaningful Travel initiative, which connects travel professionals like ourselves with local changemakers around the world. Through educational training, networking events, and immersive experiences, we can learn how to integrate more responsible, community-centric travel offerings into our client's itineraries. The goal is to empower travelers to engage with destinations in a way that protects cultural heritage, safeguards the environment, and generates tangible economic benefits for local populations.

By donating to Tourism Cares, we're able to channel our proceeds towards making a real difference. Together, we can harness the power of tourism to create positive change, one journey at a time. We're proud to support an organization that is redefining the impact of travel and we're excited to share these opportunities with you.
