Supporting environmentally responsible tourism
Travel provides the arena in which we may glimpse the extraordinary and come to understand our own place in the world in more meaningful terms. Travel allows us to garner fresh outlooks and form new attitudes - broaden our horizons. But travel also carries a degree of personal responsibility. The responsible global traveler honors the authenticity of ethnic lifestyles and unique cultures. The concerned global journeyman and woman seek to demonstrate a personal commitment to helping these special places remain special for many generations to come.
Big Five is dedicated to projects around the globe that address the critical relationship between healthy local people and their environment. We actively seek partners who reinforce our philosophy of renewable resources and responsible tourism. These eco-alliances stand witness to Big Five's on-going commitment to support the well being of local peoples and environments in our host destinations.
Often, when our travelers return home, they want to know how they might make a personal contribution to an organization or give something that would add value to the lives of new friends they've made during their travels. In the Spirit of Big Five, we are pleased to share with you some of the worthwhile programs and organizations that we personally support. These organizations are dedicated to both to human services and to the protection of our planet's resources.
