Stories from the Field

For us, travel is more than just what you see – it’s also about who you can help.
Whether that’s sharing tourism dollars with a developing country, sending a group of children on an adventure through our Buy a Trip, Give a Trip program, or directly lending a hand to support communities and conservation worldwide. We put our money where our mouth is.
Here are some stories of how Elevate travelers have helped around the world – join them!
