Introduce the Family to Responsible Travel with Kind Traveler

We are lucky to live in a time when practicing sustainability and caring for our planet and those around us is becoming a way of life. From the food we eat to the clothes we wear, the push for living responsibly shows up in every aspect of our lives, including the way we travel.

Kind Traveler, a platform designed to give travelers a way to have a positive impact on the places they visit, is a great way to help teach kids about being a responsible traveler. While some of the world’s most precious destinations are being overrun with tourists, it is becoming increasingly important for us to give a little back to the communities we travel to and teach future generations the importance of respecting and protecting the world as they explore it.

The way it works is simple — with a minimum $10 charitable donation, you get access to exclusive discounts and perks at participating hotels around the world. Kind Traveler has a portfolio of more than 350 accommodation options, from Hawai’i to Asia and everywhere in between. You can book a stay at a geothermally heated Swiss chalet, work with a turtle conservation project on a private island resort in Seychelles or stay in a repurposed sardine cannery in Astoria, Oregon.

Each accommodation is chosen to be part of the program because of its commitment to sustainability. The charitable organizations travelers can choose to donate to cover a range of good causes, from human rights and disaster relief programs to education, health and animal welfare programs.

By allowing travel dollars to flow directly into charitable programs supporting local communities, and by partnering with destinations, hotels and glamping sites around the world taking their sustainability commitments to heart, Kind Traveler gives us a new way to impact the communities we visit.
