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).

We’re Part of
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.
What is a
B Corporation?
B Corp is to business what Fair Trade certification is to coffee or USDA Organic certification is to milk. B Corps are for-profit companies certified by the nonprofit B Lab to meet rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency.
What are the
UN SDGs?
The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set out a framework of 17 Goals based on its 10 principles to tackle the world’s most pressing social, economic, and environmental challenges in the lead-up to 2030.

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.
