Earth Changers - Expert Impact

Vicky Smith,

Earth Changers

Met with Richard Carter

Earth Changers is a curated collection of positive impact sustainable tourism options that demonstrate commitment to community and conservation for sustainable development. We promote life-changing places with world-changing people for extraordinary experiences with purpose.

These pioneering tourism operations often help finance foundations’ charitable objectives: Earth Changers value quality over quantity for purpose before profit, to put Earth first.

Our theory of change is threefold: to engage & educate consumers to create change in travel choices; subsequent destination impacts; and influence industry for the better.

Richard quickly pinpointed my main challenge and suggested a different angle and alternative way of solving the problem. It was one I had previously dismissed as unlikely but in suggesting it he not only reminded me, but knew from personal experience it’s perfectly possible.
