Want to Help
Build Healthy Foundations
in Colombia?
If you run a foundation in Colombia that is doing incredible work to raise awareness to some of the most pressing problems being faced by the country, we’d be happy to support you by showcasing the foundation’s work and by putting you in contact with our customers.
Our socially-conscious clients travel with a purpose and want to support people doing great work that makes a difference. Some of them are interested in volunteering, others want to donate to good causes.
These are visitors that appreciate all the hard work you put in to offer a superior experience that’s good for you, good for the visitor and good for Colombia.
If you want to team up with This Is Colombia to offer high quality, regenerative travel experiences that leave a positive mark on the destination then we want to hear from you and help you on your mission.
We help good people (you — our very special local partners) do great things.
Help Us to Make a Difference.
All we need to know at this stage is that you believe that the destination is more than just a place to plunder, that you give a f*** about the people you work with, as much as you do about turning a profit.
If that sounds like you, then hit the button below and let’s get to work on making Colombia a better place for everyone.
This Is Not for Everyone.
We most definitely don’t want to work with everyone. There are plenty of Colombian Travel Agencies doing that.
We’re not interested in working with people who take more than they give, or careless event organizers that show no concern for the impact they have on the place they co-habit with others. We value reciprocity above all else — reciprocity with those we work with and the places and people we do business with.
We’d be happy to work with you if you take reciprocity seriously, if you’re committed to taking care of the places that allow us, and others, to earn a decent living, and if you genuinely believe that travel should put people’s hard-earned holiday money into the hands of good people doing great things.
If that sounds like you, here’s a few reasons why you might want to contact us.
You believe in the three Ps together.
Your organization is fully nested and you understand the triple bottom line of People, Planet and Profit. You understand that the planet’s resources are finite and fragile and that we have a duty to protect them, that people working with a purpose make travel more exciting and that we can only really calculate our profits and losses when we have put these living assets on the balance sheet. If you want to learn more about our approach we work with regenerative agency, Dear Wise Earth, to assess the impact we are having on the planet. We’d love to learn how you measure your impact (positive and negative) on our planet. It’s important to us in who we choose to work with.
You want to make a difference to Colombia.
We help good people do great things. That means we want to connect people who care about where they spend their money with the most remarkable people doing incredible things for Colombia and its people. You care as much as we do about This Is Travel’s customers spending their hard-earned dollars on truly transformative events that have a positive difference on their lives and those of the people they come into contact with. Your organization should be aligned with our mission to make Colombia better.
You don’t want to create more tourist traps.
You share our belief that life’s too short to blindly follow in the footsteps of a million others. You are an expert in showing people how to head off the beaten path and discover the most incredible, truly authentic regenerative and transformative things to do in Colombia. You are passionate about this country even if that means taking our customers out of their comfort zone. You don’t just give them what they think they already know, instead you serve them up the context they need to see the bigger picture. Your work should transform people, send them home a different person. Ideally you should be building something in the destination not just be looking for a way to make a quick buck. If you’re not doing that we can help start doing so.
This Is What We Love Doing.
(But we’re only as good as our amazing local partners).
A Magical Honeymoon.
Magician Mike and his wonderful wife Sami booked a 10-night honeymoon with us through an agency client. They had absolutely no idea what we had planned for them (they only learned they were traveling to Colombia at JFK airport) but they trusted us to organize every minute of their trip. We showed them Colombia one magical surprise at a time and they loved it.
“You brought us the most magical experience of our lives.”
— Mike & Sami
Boxing Clever in Cartagena.
We took a fantastic group of ladies that punch (then lunch) from New York and threw them into the ring in the grass roots gyms of Cartagena. Sweaty workouts in the morning — island hopping in the afternoon. They left more than just a bruised cheek on their sparring partners, helping to fund three potential world beaters in one of the local boxing schools.
Social Movers and Shakers.
When a group of maverick entrepreneurs chose Cartagena for their annual get together, we worked with them to ensure their trip involved some truly unique experiences. The three-day trip included a tree-planting ceremony, a street party networking event and a 3-day workshop to empower local social entrepreneurs.
