Tours: Elevate Destinations, Offering Family Vacation Experiences That Make a  Difference. 452ToursKenya Traveling with children no matter where or how far will be a learning experience for everyone. We have just learned about a few new possibilities suitable for parents who wish to take a journey of a lifetime that also makes a lifetime of difference to others.  

Philanthropic travel is a growing trend in the US and abroad and in fact 40% of travelers prefer to travel responsibly but for consumers it isn’t always as easy as it seems to put the good intentions into action. Elevate Destinations, founded by Dominique Callimanopulos, offers real time opportunities for parents or grandparents to experience family travel that matters. 

For parents who want to travel with the idea of educating their children as citizens of the world helping them grapple with diverse cultural and ideas, Elevate Destinations has a few options. Their expertise is philanthropic travel – the idea of combining personal travel interests with global issues of personal importance. Families travel with Elevate Destinations for an experience which goes beyond pleasurable luxury travel. The trips focus on teaching children (and their adult companions) how to make a difference by participating in projects firsthand. The exact details are featured at their website. Destinations include Africa, India, Bhutan, Mexico, Eastern Asia, Costa Rica, Belize, and New Zealand. 452ToursCostaRica

For example: in Costa Rica, an awesome place to share with children, the trip includes both a mountain and a beach location. Make a difference. Help paint a school near Rosa Blanca or in the Potrero close to Sugar Beach; Potrero beach clean-up with local children involved; be a part of the local reforestation project in Sugar Beach. In Belize families have a chance to make memories is several ways. Make a difference. Continue research on the 70 sites contained within the Chaa Creek Nature Reserve; participate in Howler monkey reintroduction; help the nearby village of Cristo Rey with educational materials and training.

Elevate Destinations has developed sustainability guidelines for each destination they visit to create awareness and provide their clients with the opportunity to better understand the environmental, socio-cultural and economic needs of the places they visit. Each Elevate Destinations trip benefits environmental preservation and community development. The staff members are committed to Elevate Destinations' mission and are selected for their ability, knowledge and integrity. 5% of each trip is donated to a NGO in the host destination. From saving elephants in Botswana to benefiting an orphanage in Cambodia, travelers can give back to the communities they visit and still enjoy the pleasures of a luxury trip put together by Elevate Destinations.
