Essentially the concept can be whittled down to a simple sentence. “Creating better places for people to live, and better places for people to visit.”
Tourism, and the industry surrounding tourism, can quickly erode the physical and social environment of any destination. We believe that the diversity found around the globe, the uniqueness of any particular culture or habitat, should be embraced and preserved to the best of our ability.
As tourists, travelers, visitors we believe that the creed “Do No Harm” is the bare minimum of our responsibility. Just a Pack is dedicated to promoting organizations and efforts around the globe that are committed to giving back and making a difference in their local communities.
And we think you should be too.
