Are you ready for an adventure that not only fills your soul with unforgettable experiences but also makes a meaningful impact on communities across the globe? At Pride Adventure Travel, we specialize in crafting extraordinary journeys for gay men, where camaraderie, exploration, and making a difference come together seamlessly. We are thrilled to announce our partnership with Planeterra as our charity partner of choice, a collaboration that amplifies our commitment to both global community support and cultural engagement.
Planeterra is more than just a non-profit organization; it is a beacon of hope for communities striving for sustainable development through tourism. With a mission to empower local people and preserve cultural heritage, Planeterra’s goals align perfectly with our core values at Pride Adventure Travel.
Here’s how our partnership with Planeterra enhances the travel experience for our community:
- Community Empowerment: Just as we strive to create a supportive and inclusive environment for gay travelers, Planeterra empowers local communities by providing the necessary tools and resources to thrive. For example, the Alebrijes Zoologico Magico in Mexico is a women-owned cooperative that celebrates Zapoteca culture. Revenue from handicrafts and visitor visits supports 13 women and their families, showcasing the power of sustainable cultural tourism.
- Cultural Preservation: We believe in celebrating diversity and embracing different cultures. Planeterra shares this commitment, exemplified by their support for the Pink City Rickshaw Company in India. This innovative project trains and empowers resource-poor women from Jaipur to lead unique tours on environmentally-friendly rickshaws, enhancing cultural exchange and visitor engagement.
- Environmental Conservation: Protecting the planet is paramount to both Pride Adventure Travel and Planeterra. Our shared dedication is evident in projects like Grow Dat in the USA, where youth in New Orleans develop leadership skills in sustainable agriculture on a 7-acre farm. This initiative not only educates but also actively conserves the environment.
- Training and Empowerment: Our efforts also extend to educational empowerment, as seen in Côte d’Ivoire through the Train and Travel nonprofit. Here, women have the opportunity to participate in training courses enhanced by Planeterra’s resources, which help them engage effectively in the tourism sector.
Our partnership with Planeterra goes beyond shared values; it’s about creating impactful experiences that transcend borders and bring people together. As a gay-owned and operated travel company, we understand the importance of finding a sense of belonging and connection while exploring the world. That’s why our trips aren’t just about sightseeing—they’re about forging lifelong friendships and building a global community of like-minded individuals.
When you travel with Pride Adventure Travel, you’re not just embarking on a journey; you’re joining a movement to make the world a better place—one adventure at a time. With every trip booked, a portion of the proceeds goes directly to support Planeterra’s impactful projects, ensuring that your travels leave a lasting legacy of positive change.
So, are you ready to embark on an adventure that’s as meaningful as it is memorable? Join us at Pride Adventure Travel, where every journey is an opportunity to explore, connect, and make a difference.
Let’s travel with pride and purpose. Together, we can change the world, one adventure at a time.
Thanks,
Chris Smith, Chief Adventure Officer
