Planeterra is the world’s leading non-governmental organization turning travel into impact in communities.

Planeterra helps local organizations and communities use tourism as a catalyst to improve people’s lives, protect their natural environments, and celebrate their culture. Put simply, it is a better kind of tourism – improving the lives of community members as they provide travellers with better experiences. 

Our goal is to break down barriers for local enterprises to achieve their unique goals – be it women’s empowerment, cultural celebration, environmental sustainability, improving access to healthcare and education, or breaking down barriers for communities often left behind. Join us and uplift tourism!
