Travelteerism boasts best of both worlds

Travelteerism boasts best of both worlds
By admin


Luxury travel and volunteering are two worlds that have never overlapped before. After all, luxury travel doesn’t always come with an altruistic factor.

Enter Travelteerism, where indulgence gets a feel-good makeover, which offers clients new perspectives on the country they’re visiting by working with local people on community projects.

It provides a deeper experience beyond the bubble of boutique hotels, beaches, and the safari trail – but still incorporates these elements, which makes it the best of both worlds.

The company idea sprung from ardent traveller, fundraiser and NGO employee Casey Miller, who wanted to bring together his two life’s passions, which also apply to many other travellers too.

It also enables the NGOs and local charities to tap into and profit from their country’s luxury tourism industry in a way they have not been able to before.

They currently run tours to Guatemala, Mexico, and Southern Africa, where they work with a variety of non-profit organisations that take travellers to indigenous villages to help out in schools, impoverished areas, or to contribute to local environmental efforts.

A sample itinerary to Central Mexico looks a bit like this. 

10-days, maximum 10 people per tour, and nine-nights in a 4 star hotel. You’ll spend two days volunteering with ViveMexico or No√© Internacional, and entrance to attractions such as the Butterfly Sanctuary and the Pyramids of Teotihuacan.

Transport comes in a luxury van, with an educated, bilingual guide, as well as breakfast and dinner every day, and lunch on the days spent volunteering.
