It’s time to rethink how we travel to build a better tomorrow. Are you with us?
As the world recovers from the current crisis, we have an opportunity and a choice to treat the people and places we travel to with greater respect and thought. It’s time to chart a new trajectory for how we travel – one that focuses on the needs of the communities and environments that we visit. So, while you may not be ready to travel right now, when you do get back on the road, we've got the advice and inspiration to help you travel safely and more responsibly. Sound like a plan? We want to hear how you intend to travel more responsibly in the future and you could win prizes and cash worth US $5,000 for your next trip.
