A new and exciting Australian based tour company, 2WorldTours, understands that travellers today want something more than just a holiday and that they want to contribute in a positive way to the destinations they travel through.
Having a number of years experience in the world of humanitarian aid and fundraising, the owner of 2WorldTours has designed a range of small group (maximum of 10) and independent humanitarian tours that provide a balance of historical and cultural activities with visits to a variety of locally run humanitarian aid projects in South East Asian destinations.
The tours are a great option for those thinking of volunteering (but are unsure of where to start or what to do) or for those who just want a different and rewarding travel experience. Participants get the option to lend a hand at some of the projects, and find out first hand what volunteering programs involve before committing to long-term or expensive tenures in unfamiliar destinations.
The company hopes that if only a handful of people who experience a tour decide to return and undertake long-term volunteer work; or come home and raise awareness of the projects they visit, that this has the potential to make a difference to communities far less fortunate than the ones we live in. A percentage of each tour cost goes toward supporting sustainable and locally run humanitarian projects who don’t have the backing of large multi-national aid organisations, but continue to make a difference to thousands of lives, with little or no recognition.
A variety of flexible budget, standard or deluxe style travel options are available which also allow travellers to design their own tour, take part in a small group tour or travel independently. 2WorldTours is offering BabyBoomers a special discount of 5% for Cambodian tours from February 08 through to May 08.
