Get involved
There’s more than one way to make tourism matter.
Whether you run a lodge, sell travel, fund climate action, work in conservation or simply believe tourism can leave more behind, there’s a place to get involved.
Direct contact
Talk to a human.
Got an idea?
Want to understand and improve your property’s carbon performance?
Interested in supporting the programme?
Working on something that could benefit from collaboration?
Pick up the phone or send us an email. We’d genuinely like to hear from you.
Tourism gets better when the people who care about its impact find one another.
Participation connects you with practical work, shared learning and people helping tourism contribute more to nature, climate and communities.
Ways to get involved
Find where you fit.
I run a tourism business
Measure it.Understand it.Improve it.
Take part in the Eco Travel Foundation’s Climate Performance Programme. Establish your carbon baseline, understand performance in context and identify practical priorities—with technical assessment and benchmarking delivered by ETC Africa.
Whether you are starting from scratch or already reporting, the aim is better information, better decisions and evidenced progress.
Assessment and improvement support are available now. Formal certification is under development and is not currently offered.
I sell or design travel
Help better tourism get seen.
Travel designers, agents and operators influence which businesses travellers discover and support. Help make assessed carbon performance easier to understand, encourage accurate communication and connect travellers with properties willing to show their work.
I want to fund change
Help us build what comes next.
Funding can help tourism properties establish carbon baselines, strengthen records, access training and use relevant benchmarks. It can also support the development of locally led conservation and community initiatives.
The kimkim-funded pilot helped establish the foundations. We welcome conversations with partners interested in extending this work.
I work in conservation or community impact
Bring local knowledge to the table.
The best projects won't be invented in a Foundation office.
We're interested in working with conservation organisations, community groups, schools, NGOs, local enterprises and other partners who understand what their landscapes and communities actually need.
The goal is to help tourism resources reach credible, locally led action.
I have an idea
Good. So do we.
Maybe you're none of the above.
If you're working on something that could make tourism more useful to nature, climate or communities, we'd like to hear about it.
Interesting partnerships don't always fit neatly into a dropdown menu.
For nature.For climate.For community.
The Eco Travel Foundation exists to help turn tourism activity into measurable environmental improvement and meaningful value for the places people travel to.
There are many ways to help build that.
