How G Adventures is changing the way we see the world
What if your next adventure could leave a little something behind, in the best possible way? With G Adventures, travelling the world isn’t simply about ticking destinations off a map. It’s about meeting the people who make those places what they are, spending your money where it can make a difference and leaving with stories that go far beyond the usual holiday snaps.
G for Good
Lots of companies talk about sustainability, but at G Adventures they've never been one to follow in others’ footsteps. Their commitment to making travel a force for good is so strong, so they gave it a name and made it official. Meet G for Good.
Meet the people behind the places
G Adventures has been championing Community Tourism for more than 35 years, creating trips where local communities aren’t just part of the scenery, they’re at the heart of the experience.
Through its non-profit partner, Planeterra, G Adventures has helped integrate more than 150 community tourism enterprises into its itineraries. That could mean visiting a women-owned café in Jordan or joining a youth-led favela tour in Brazil. These experiences give travellers a genuine connection with the destination while helping local people build businesses, protect their culture and create opportunities that last.
And the ambition doesn’t stop there. Project 300 aims to uplift more than 300 communities through tourism by 2030, proving that a holiday can have a much longer-lasting impact than the number of days in your itinerary.
Your holiday can help the planet, too
Because looking after the places we love to explore matters just as much as discovering them.
Through Trees for Days, G Adventures grows a tree for every day a traveller spends on one of its trips, supporting reforestation projects and the communities working on them. So, the longer your adventure, the more trees you help grow.
Over seven million trees have already been planted, across 23 reforestation projects around the world. It's a simple idea with roots that run deep: restore natural landscapes while creating jobs and supporting communities along the way.
Follow the money – it makes a difference
There’s also a rather clever way G Adventures measures the impact of your trip: the Ripple Score.
Scoring trips from 0 to 100, it shows how much of the money G Adventures spends in a destination stays within its local economy. The higher the score, the greater the local impact, and the current average across its tours is an impressive 92.
In other words, when you travel with G Adventures, your holiday spending can ripple well beyond your own experience.
Go somewhere. Do some good.
Adventure and impact don’t have to be separate parts of your holiday. With G Adventures, they’re woven together, from the communities you meet and the local businesses you support to the landscapes helping to inspire your next adventure.
So, when you’re ready to see more of the world, why not choose a journey that gives something back along the way? Discover G Adventures with Hays Travel and find an adventure with a little more meaning.
