Tourisms role to fight poverty
Tourism in general plays an important role as it is a major source of income for developing countries.
Many jobs are created not only within the hospitality sector but also in all sectors that hospitality relies on. Besides the creation of jobs, it diversifies the economy.
Alongside more positive impacts, such as empowering communities that live in
very remote parts of the country, as well as preserving cultural heritage,
tourism generates income that improves living conditions and creates
opportunities for the sustainable development of a country.
On a mission to sustainable travel on my side of the planning.
Roadtripping
We are not only compensating the amount of CO² emitted during the trip, but we double the compensation. Easy, the further we go the more is compensated.
This will happen through partner initiatives who sustainably reforest and protect endangered African forests. The doubling of the compensation occurs without a raise in the price as I am committed for change.
Therefore, this is paid for from my share, which I will be getting from the trip.
Bob smoked dem Trees, we gonna plant 'em.
Lodging
Lodging is selected under the criteria of having a minimal ecological footprint and to what extent they sustainable handle resources. All that, of course without making any compromises in the experience.
Having that figured out, on a mission to sustainable travel, there are more things we can do during the trip
Consume local products, to ensure that the money which is brought into the country circles further within it and is not on its way out already.
Support local artists and initiatives on our way.
Giving generous tips, as in many cases families only rely on one working family member.

Let us deep dive into it
Why is that so important?
We will strive through some of the last parts of the world that can be declared to be true "wilderness".
In these parts, the flora and fauna are still predominant, which puts us as humans in the place of only being a visitor.
​
With the privilege of visiting and perceiving such
places of untouched nature, comes the duty of causing the least possible environmental impact.
In order to preserve these last places of wilderness.
The responsibility part.
