There have been many important moments that have marked Kind Traveler’s journey to success. Blotter speaks of some of the biggest achievements of the team: “In 2021, Kind Traveler was the winner of Newsweek’s Future of Travel Award for the startups/travel tech category and a finalist of Fast Company’s World Changing Ideas Award for the social responsibility category. The awards have served as guideposts to our team, affirming that we are building a product that resonates with others and fills an important gap in the travel industry.” Their team also created the 2022 Global Impact Tourism Report, where they interviewed and collected data from various sources, such as hotels, charities, tourism boards, and survey respondents, and were able to find 10 trends in the travel industry right now. They hope that this report will provide important insights and serves as a tool to guide the travel industry towards sustainability and offer a set of solutions that will make you reinvent the concept of travel towards regenerative tourism, showing that it is possible to use travel as a way to build long-lasting benefits to destinations, communities, and nature. You can find the report available for free download on their website KindTraveler.com. Blotter has a clear view of the path ahead: “The future of sustainable travel should revolve around both the industry and consumers making travel and lifestyle choices that drive positive impact and minimize
or eliminate negative impact. Travelers must become keenly aware of how their impacts can help or harm the planet and learn to vote with their dollar by supporting brands and lifestyle choices that create sustainable, regenerative, and equitable futures for all beings.” So, if you are traveling during these holidays, consider traveling with kindness, knowing that just a few dollars have the potential to improve the community you’re visiting. #TravelKindly
