Collette Cares
Travel That Does Good in the World
At Collette, we believe travel has the power to strengthen communities, protect the places we explore, and create meaningful change. Our values guide every decision we make — from how we design our tours to the partners we choose to work with. That's why every journey features Responsible Travel Highlights: experiences that connect you with local organizations and sustainable partners who are making a real difference. Because when travel is done right, the joy of discovery benefits everyone, everywhere.
Our Framework for Impact
We deliver impact through four interconnected pillars:
Responsible Travel
Extensively vetting every partner we include on every tour to ensure our tours benefit the communities we visit, not just pass through them.
Responsible Business
Holding ourselves accountable to ethical, sustainable practices companywide.
Volunteering
Empowering every employee to make a difference locally and globally by offering over a week of paid volunteer time annually.
Grantmaking
Investing directly in community partners and systems change, with over 25 years of impact and $10 million total giving in all the years combined.
