HBTT+ Program: Even More Reforestation

To plant even more trees on your behalf, we’d like to begin the stages of launching our HBTT+ program! Who doesnt want to breathe clean air for generations to come? You’d be crazy.

HBTT+ For every complete booking that is considered sustainable, 3% of the total cost is donated. Otherwise, it’s only 1%…not as cool at all.

Sustainability in travel includes the following:

Local Communities: The trip benefits & respects local communities, including supporting local businesses and respecting cultural heritage in a significant way. If you take a road less traveled, this is often more rewarding to the local community as it encourages tourism and boosts their economy. Make sure to not disturb protected grounds.

Conservation Efforts: The trip involves activities that support or prevent damage to conservation efforts of wildlife and natural resources.

Responsible Tourism Practices: The trip follows principles of responsible tourism, such as using eco-friendly accommodations, transportation, and avoiding over-touristed areas. Send us pictures in the act - pick up litter, encourage & support others, do your part, leave no trace.

Education and Awareness: The trip promotes awareness and education about sustainability and environmental conservation among travelers. If you are learning about anything that conserves Planet Earth, you will be rewarded.

Spend Mucho: An additional way to ensure more tree are planted on your behalf is to spend more than $50K on your account. Travel agents usually and should, define who is the leader, head of household, organizer of the group. The head of the trip, not each traveler must cover over $50K to recieve additional percentage on their trees planted.
