It’s a paisa vasool deal. Really. You can have the vacation of your life, enjoy nature in all its abundance plus do your bit to save the planet. Yes, this is the mantra of new age vacation. Visiting Hong Kong, Dubai, Singapore, Disneyland, London, Paris and other places to shop or sight see is passé. The new lifestyle statement is holidaying with a difference. In fact, making a difference to the place you visit.

“I travel to learn and enrich myself. This sort of trip, where I learn about a new culture in an active,
yet luxurious setting, is right up my alley,” explains Tracy Boyd (42), who works as a senior director,
Product and Community, at Affinity Labs in San Francisco.

Like Tracy, there are hundreds of others who want to vacation differently. This type of vacation tour isn’t like ordinary group tours. It’s not an individual tour. It’s not volunteering in the strictest sense
of the word nor is it backpacking. It’s a mixture of all of these in just the right amount. It is like giving
back to communities while globetrotting.

And the best part of it is that it offers best value for your buck besides allowing you to see the most
exotic places on earth like Belize, Kenya, Island Piaza (Seychelles), Honduras, New Zealand, South Africa, South America, our own Ladakh and any other that you can think of, and doing your bit: preserving the ecology of places, educating the locals and helping them access medical facilities.
