The Best Group Travel Tours that Give Back
Predictions for Business Travel in 2022
Companies are looking forward to the future of travel in the next year. The pandemic has caused travel to permanently change, and when you travel to your next business event, you will notice these changes in both your domestic travel and international travel.
International business travel is expected to increase by as much as 34 percent in 2022, most likely to make up for some of the losses due to the pandemic.
Seasoned travelers are looking to take that long-coveted bucket list trip that they have been putting off.
Many travelers today want the experience of giving back with travel. The following are examples of group tours that give back to the community of your chosen group travel destination. Read on to learn about the best travel tours that work with both groups and travel philanthropy.
5 Group Trips that Travel for Good

Italian Stories offers many bespoke tours that can help you plan that Italian artisan experience.

Live Like A Local in Asia
The tour company Backstreet Academy offers many group tours that concentrate on giving back with travel.

Go on Wildlife Tour in Ghana
Ashanti African Tours has many ethical travel programs that also give back to the community and its natural resources. Beneficiaries of these tours include protection of the rainforests, education programs implemented, and schoolhouses built for community children. The tours available are easily customizable for large groups, which can make your group travel experience even better. Featured tours include ones concentrating on wildlife conservation, heritage tours, and eco-tours.
Have a Special Culinary Experience
Most people would not consider a visit to a refugee camp as a vacation. However, a visit to a Palestinian Cooking Class may be a reason to change your mind. The experience consists of a tour of Bethlehem’s Aida Refugee Camp, plus an authentic cooking class in a home kitchen and an outstanding meal shared with the locals. The best part about this excursion is that all proceeds go to the camp’s school for disabled children.
