Tourism as a whole has deep impact on the world: on the one hand, it can, and does, contribute waste, reduce natural resources, and disturb precious ecosystems. On the other, the tourism industry plays a vital role in community development, conservation efforts, and promoting cultural heritage. While we may never completely erase our human footprint on the world’s landscapes, we can make efforts to embrace responsible travel and combat those negative effects.

Since the very beginning, Xplorevic has operated under the belief that travel is an exchange, not a commodity. While it’s up to all of us to be conscientious globetrotting individuals, Xplorevic makes it easier by building thoughtful travel fundamentals into each and every one of our trips. When you travel with us, you leave lighter footprints, invest your travel dollars in local communities and those in needs, show respect and curiosity for different cultures and traditions, and experience genuine connections with the people you meet along the way. Benefits can be obvious in parts of the developing world where the income we provide can mean the difference between economic survival and poverty.
