Planeterra is the leading community tourism organization working to reduce poverty around the world. Tourism is an $8 trillion global industry, but many local businesses and communities do not benefit from it. There are some forms of tourism where zero dollars reach the hands of local people. Planeterra works to break this cycle by supporting and uplifting community tourism enterprises. For every $10 donated, you will be entered to win a fantastic gift basket that will be given away on May 22, 2025.
