Kiwi Leads Charge for One Stop Ethical Tourism Shop
Kiwi Leads Charge for One Stop Ethical Tourism
Shop
Wellington, New Zealand
Self
proclaimed travel addict, and career humanitarian Eliza
Raymond has embarked on an exciting venture to bring ethical
travel options to everyone who sets out on a travel
adventure.
GOOD Travel is an elegantly simple
social enterprise strategy that will provide an easy to
navigate website and smart device application. GOOD Travel
will provide travelers a one stop shop to seek and find
information on socially, environmentally and economically
ethical operators and service providers anywhere in the
world.
The idea is so good, it has been accepted
as a finalist in the “Start Something That Matters”
campaign to win $50,000USD in seed finance for the winning
social enterprise entry.
“This is an
incredible opportunity to win US$50,000 and get GOOD Travel
off the ground. We are honoured to have been selected for
this challenge. Now it’s all down to votes. We really
want to win and would love the support of the Kiwi
community. The majority of the contestants are based in the
United States so let’s show them what we’re made of here
New Zealand!” Eliza Raymond – Co-Founder GOOD
Travel.
GOOD Travel is the only entrant with a Kiwi
co-founder, so get out there and spread the word and
encourage your friends and family to VOTE.
As with
any social networking enterprise, GOOD Travel will provide a
forum for people to leave advice and reviews on their
experiences. This system will also reward operators and
service providers for thinking and acting ethically in their
own communities and toward the tourists who visit their
destinations. GOOD Travel will support tourism service
providers that contribute positively to their community by
promoting them through what is hoped to be a globally
recognized accreditation process which will ensure GOOD
travelers are able to spot anything from GOOD accommodation
to a GOOD cup of coffee.
“Travelers want to give
back to the places and people they visit, but they often
don’t know how”. Ms. Eliza Raymond – Co-Founder GOOD
Travel.
There are only 9 days left until voting
closes, so get out there and VOTE for the only Kiwi
contestant in the race to win the
50K.
