Responsibletravel.com joins with charity
Responsibletravel.com has teamed up with newly launched TravelPledge, the online charity donation scheme for travellers wanting to give back to people and projects in the destinations they have visited.
This new partnership will offer its customers the chance to donate money to trusted social and environmental projects in seven holiday destinations.
The agency will also promote the scheme to its 900-plus members worldwide.
Responsibletravel.com managing director Justin Francis said: ” The feedback from travellers we work with is that they are often left moved and inspired by a holiday – whether it be due to encounters with local people, wildlife or social and environmental issues in destinations – they come back home wanting to help in some way.
“TravelPledge offers them the chance to give something back.”
