Editoral Review of Global Vision International
Family run Global Vision International is a tour company dedicated to providing conservation and community development programs for travelers who want to make a difference.
What Makes Them Stand Out?
They focus on community development and conservation programs around the world. They offer internships, volunteer programs, and under 18 programs - all within a variety of themes. These include things like Animal Care, Teaching, Health Care, and Women’s Empowerment.
Who Travels With Them?
They are the ideal company for travelers looking to using their vacation for volunteering and giving back to local communities around the world. All ages are welcome - they are very popular among Gap Year students, over 50 travelers, families, and spring break vacations. They also offer tours for those who are under 18 which is a great opportunity for high school aged kids.
Where Do They Operate?
Tours operate in select countries around the world including Costa Rica and Mexico, Fiji, Greece, India, Laos, Nepal, Thailand, Seychelles and South Africa.
Why Travel With Them?
If you’re looking to have a positive impact through your travel, and want the knowledge that your money is going toward solid improvements and initiatives, they are a great company to consider. They also have tours and experiences that will appeal to a wide range of travelers as well as families.
