Insight Vacations is a proud member of The Travel Corporation\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong> (TTC) family of brands. The Tollman family behind TTC is guided by service and giving back. Together we believe that travel is a great privilege. With the education, compassion, and lifelong memories travel provides us also comes a great responsibility. At Insight Vacations, our mission is to ensure that travel has a positive impact on the planet we call home, the people and communities whose home we visit, and the rich wildlife we find there.<\/p>\n

Insight Vacations does that in two ways: through being founding members of The TreadRight Foundation<\/a><\/strong> and through the implementation of our five-year sustainability strategy How We Tread Right (HWTR).<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

The TreadRight Foundation<\/h2>\n

The TreadRight Foundation<\/a><\/strong> is a not-for-profit organization created as a joint initiative between The Travel Corporation\u2019s (TTC) family of brands. TreadRight has supported some 55-plus sustainable tourism projects worldwide to date. Support is provided through donations and grants to leading partners across the sustainable travel spectrum. These projects all fall under the three pillars of TreadRight: People, Wildlife, Planet.<\/p>\n

1. PEOPLE – Community Support and Cultural Preservation<\/h5>\n

At Insight Vacations, we are committed to supporting the cultures, traditions and arts of the communities that we visit. We help communities unlock the benefits of tourism through economic empowerment, by supporting micro-enterprises and community-based initiatives that build positive futures for local people and their families.<\/p>\n

Meet Sarain Fox, TreadRight\u2019s People Ambassador<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Sarain amplifies the voices of her Indigenous community through preservation of culture and stories. \u201cWhen we make authentic connections with local people our travel becomes infinitely richer. My First Nation Anishinaabe heritage serves as the lens through which I view the world, seeking to build a bridge to the people whose lands I am grateful to visit and whose stories I am privileged to tell. Throughout the Americas, you will find rich cultures to discover and support \u2013 and fascinating people to meet.\u201d<\/p>\n
