To ensure every dollar donated by these companies goes to people and places in need, each project is carefully vetted by the Foundation’s Members of the Board with advice from a specially selected Advisory Panel of conservation and development experts.
The Leading Travel Companies has also appointed Global Tourism Interface to manage the Conservation Foundation and coordinate the group’s global program of corporate social responsibility. By doing this The Leading Travel Companies ensures ongoing environmental improvement throughout its tourism businesses. This work is funded separately to the Foundation ensuring all monies contributed to TLTC Conservation Foundation go directly to the places and people in need.
