Your Pomelo Travel Subscription Helps Support Rural Communities

Tourism is responsible for roughly 10% of the global economy, but many rural communities and local businesses are not benefiting from it.

There are many forms of tourism where virtually $0 reaches the hands of local people and instead can post a threat to the culture, rhythm, and way of live in many rural communities.

Pomelo Travel works to change that! We believe in traveling in a way that not only minimizes the negative impacts that travel can have on these communities, but also celebrates and supports rural ways of life, through advocacy, person-to-person human interaction, and community-based tourism.

Tourism – when done right – can change the lives of those in communities forever for the better.

Thank you for helping improve the live of people around the world.

YOUR IMPACT

Pomelo Travel contributes 10% of profits from every subscription or anything else you purchase at Pomelo Travel, to help sponsor rural community projects.

We plan to launch projects throughout the world, with current projects in Cambodia, Thailand, and Indonesia.

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS

By recommending and supporting causes that positively impact rural communities, we change the perception of tourism, and start a conversation about ensuring the impact tourism has on local communities is a positive one.

We connect our customers with local people, their businesses, their culture, economies, spiritual and religious practices, and their general way of life. We hope this connect on fosters understanding across many cultures, resulting in new intercultural dialogue and lifelong friendships with a new people and place.

We empower community tourism enterprises that directly support local people. We connect them to a global network of unique projects, our customer base, and the customer bases of other companies. Each project is unique and requires different types of support. By helping these projects thrive, rural communities are able to reinvest profits int heir own economies, education, healthcare, environment, and other cultural priorities.
