Journeys International Joins 1% for the Planet

ANN ARBOR, Mich., March 14, 2024 – Journeys International, a pioneering eco-tourism company with over four decades of commitment to sustainable travel, is thrilled to announce its new partnership with 1% for the Planet. By joining this esteemed global network, Journeys International pledges to donate at least 1% of its annual revenue to environmental causes, further cementing its dedication to preserving our planet for future generations.

Founded on the principles of ecotourism and sustainable travel, Journeys International has been at the forefront of responsible tourism, offering immersive experiences that respect local cultures and environments. The company’s decision to join 1% for the Planet aligns with its long-standing commitment to environmental stewardship and cultural sustainability.

“Our journey began with a dream on the first Earth Day in 1970, and today, we’re proud to continue that legacy by joining 1% for the Planet,” said Robin Weber Pollak, second-generation owner of Journeys International. “This partnership not only reinforces our dedication to sustainability but also allows us to contribute more directly to the conservation and restoration of the places we hold dear.”

Journeys International’s commitment goes beyond financial contributions. The company has also pledged to complete 100 volunteer hours, engaging its team in hands-on efforts to support environmental causes. This initiative honors the spirit of Earth Day and reflects the company’s deep-seated belief in making a tangible impact on the world.

The Earth Preservation Fund (EPF), an environmental partner within the 1% for the Planet network, will be among the beneficiaries of Journeys International’s contributions. The EPF has been instrumental in channeling support from travelers to conservation and development projects in destinations visited by Journeys International.

This commitment to 1% for the Planet is a significant milestone in Journeys International’s ongoing journey of responsible travel and conservation. As travelers choose Journeys International for their adventures, they can take pride in knowing that their journey contributes to the preservation of our planet.

“We invite you to join us on this exciting new chapter in our story,” Pollak added. “Together, we can explore the world while making a positive difference. Here’s to more adventures, discoveries, and a sustainable future that preserves our beautiful Earth and its wild spaces.”
