B Tourism

Travel As A Force For Good

What is B Tourism?

Global Collective

Various Tourism Sectors

B Corp Framework

B Tourism is a global network of Certified B Corporation travel and tourism companies as well as other conscious travel organizations that take collective action for environmental and social justice. Inspired by the operational transparency and overall credibility of the B Corp Certification, the platform hopes to serve as a resource for the regenerative travel movement and to help travelers enjoy a vacation experience that embodies interdependence and interconnectedness.

Our network promotes utilizing tourism as a force for good so that travelers can cultivate connections with themselves, family & friends, nature, culture, and a new way of seeing things while supporting companies that align with their values.

This is a welcoming space where the hospitality industry and tourism community can come together and share best practices, helpful guidance, and informative resources while showing stakeholders that they place value on the triple bottom line (people, planet, prosperity).

Growing a Movement

Travelers Are
Changing How They Travel

Business-as-usual is not addressing society’s challenges

Two important factors are influencing the tourism industry:

  • First, travelers are becoming increasingly aware of how over-consumption is impacting the environment
  • Second, the business environment for employees is becoming more demanding than ever

With constant increases in working hours as well as an intensifying pressure to perform, people are becoming more conscious of how precious their leisure time is. Individuals are also recognizing the need to obtain the greatest value from their holidays while being conscious of and minimizing their environmental impact.

By choosing a responsible holiday, travelers will spend their leisure time making a long-term positive contribution to the world.

Travel Platform Concept

Currently Under Development

When responsible travel options exist for the average traveler to enjoy multiple destinations and travel experiences, credible regenerative tourism will become the norm.

Presently, there is not a travel & tourism booking platform/website that is simple to use, customer-friendly and provides only credibly responsible/sustainable-minded travel options.

We want to co-create a booking platform that encompasses Ecotourism​, ​Voluntourism​, ​Sustainable Tourism, Regenerative Tourism, Agrotourism, Voluntourism, and Transformative Tourism for today’s travelers that are demanding more.

We envision a global tourism industry that uses travel as a force for good to help cities, regions and countries improve the environmental, social and economic performance of their visitor economy, and become more sustainable and healthy places to visit, meet and live in.
