The Invitation

We’re striving for homeostasis and wholeness in our lives and our communities, and new systems are emerging to foster vital healing, growth, and resilience, including in tourism. We’re deeply proud to be shepherding this change globally, and we'd appreciate your help in unleashing tourism’s super-powers for positive change in our lives and on the planet.

The time is now and we’re actively seeking investors, philanthropists and sponsors to become Partners in Change, ready to do something real, lasting and impactful. Through vision and generous support, our Partners in Change will be cultivating equality, generosity, stewardship, and compassion through a more consciously designed tourism.

Our holistic offerings go beyond wellness and sustainability -reinvigorating travelers, travel brands, and communities to their ideal states, yielding lasting positive outcomes for all.

Our innovative training, courses and experiences connect travel brands and destinations with experts, knowledge, and a community of practice dedicated to co-creating a brighter future for all.

Our global community unites a diverse collection of change agents in solidarity, support and improvement and we invite you to join us!

Peace and gratitude,

Jake Haupert and team

Travel that raises the collective consciousness of humankind to regenerate and thrive.

Mission

To build a better tourism to build a better human being and a better society.

Our Partners in Change

With a minimum of $25K USD donation or investment you’ll be a Partner in Change. In addition to catalyzing tourism for good, these folks receive special behind the scenes access, consistent briefings, and exclusive invitations to our education, engagements, and experiences.

Tourism as a Path to Personal and Societal Change

Few forces have such potential for personal growth, transcending divisions within and among ourselves, and revitalizing our planet than transformational travel and regenerative tourism. Given our hybrid structure (the for-profit TTC and non-profit TTI) we’re uniquely positioned to shepherd travel and tourism into the future and broaden its impact.

We invite you to join us in this ambitious work to ensure current momentum translates into impact, revenue, and further traction. Between the two organizations we are seeking USD 1 million to make this possible.

We approach this program with the highest of integrity, with honesty, and full transparency.
