World Expeditions Limited created Community Project Travel (CPT) with a clear vision: to make the world a better place for people in need. Whether described as voluntourism or eco tourism, the programme invites everyday travellers to share in this vision through purposeful, hands-on adventures.
World Expeditions has operated Community Project Travel since 2005, running it entirely as a not-for-profit division of the company. The programme offers voluntourism-style adventures where the main objective is to improve the lives of others or the environment in a meaningful and sustainable way.
In consultation with local operators around the world and community leaders, World Expeditions identified a long list of worthwhile projects and initiatives. In each case the affected community receives little or no government funding, and the dire economic situation in these areas makes the assistance especially essential.
Sustainability is central to the programme. Projects are designed so that the work is started and completed by the time travellers leave the community, delivering both immediate and longer-term tangible benefits.
No skills are required to take part. Travellers simply need to pack an open mind and a keenness to commit to physical work within a team environment.
