The Path Forward: Sustain the Future of Travel 

The travel and tourism industry stands at a crossroads. Around the world, destinations and communities are being tested by climate disasters, cultural erosion, and economic uncertainties. While each of us is on our own path toward sustainability, The Path Forward reminds us that our progress is strongest when we walk together

For more than two decades, Tourism Cares has united our industry to drive meaningful change forward by protecting the places we love, empowering local communities, and inspiring travelers to make a difference. But we can’t continue this work without you. 

Now more than ever, we need the industry to take the next step on The Path Forward. Your support sustains the programs, partnerships, and people ensuring that travel remains a force for good — today and for generations to come.

SPOTLIGHT: THE PEOPLE + PLACES OF TOURISM CARES

Oaklandish | Tourism Cares with Oakland 2017

Tourism Cares utilized the talent of social enterprise and B-Corp Oaklandish to design and produce the t-shirts used for the 2017 Oakland volunteer event. Their mission is to spread “local love” by way of civic pride-evoking tees and accessories, while creating quality inner city jobs for locals, and giving back to the people and places that maintain Oakland’s trailblazer spirit.
