TRAVEL X IMPACT
Travara is the first purpose-driven, sustainable and regenerative travel platform for today’s modern, socially conscious global citizen. You!
Our name is a blend of the words travel + vara (the Sanskrit word that means ‘the best of something’), so…the best of travel.
Think of Travara as your go-to source for conscious and sustainable travel. Travel that considers footprint, culture and community. We’ve done the leg work for you, so you can discover where to go, what to do, where to stay and what to buy if you want to have an impact when you travel.
There are a lot of buzzwords out there…sustainable, regenerative, responsible, conscious, eco-friendly, slow travel…all of which represent what we consider the future of travel. The best kind of travel.
Our mission is to make it easy for people to travel better.
How?
We start by demystifying sustainable tourism and all the other jargon that makes most travelers’ eyes glaze over. We explain why it’s important and how to travel better. We’re here to help travelers understand what sustainable and regenerative travel means – and how to find and book it.
We love the independent hotels that support local communities; the scenic bus and train rides that allow you to take in more sights than you can on a plane; the airlines that are (actually) committed to decarbonization; the brands that were inspired by global travels and do things like economically empower women in underserved regions…you get the picture.
Big and small companies that are doing it right, in the most responsible way, all working towards the Global Goals.
Tourism is a huge tool for development, so we’re all about promoting opportunities that have layers of impact, for you and the communities you’re visiting.
Whether it’s a country you’ve never heard of, an underrated wine region you should visit (before everyone else) or a tiny social enterprise, whose goods or services are giving back in unique ways, this is where you find them.
If you discover something on Travara, you can rest assured it’s good for you…and the world.
We are a proud Signatory of the Glasgow Declaration on Climate Action and our editorial content is aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals and guided by criteria from the Global Sustainable Tourism Council.
Thanks for taking the first step and checking us out so you can travel better!
