Our world needs a new vision
Travel is no longer just a goal, it's also a means... You have the power to choose your destination, and what it entails
The choice of your country of destination, and at the heart of it, a region away from major tourist flows, allows you to appreciate the diversity of its heritage. Because respect for cultural, culinary and craft traditions contributes to maintaining the heritage of these peoples and ensures the future of all humanity. This new form of tourism is the one and only bulwark to protect against the uniformization and standardization of industrial tourism.
Each meeting with locals, each discovery of a vestige of the past, each new dish tasted, each point of view exchanged, constitutes a link in this benevolent chain, this social bond which strengthens understanding between people and unites them beyond borders.
Local producers associated with our partners in the So-Leader Cooperative live all year round at the destination. They are aware of the environmental damage, the social imbalances, the economic wasteland generated by the industrialization imposed on them by the giants of tourism. The mode of development that has prevailed over the past decades has led to the enslavement of tourism businesses and resources.
This industrialization of tourism based on a quantitative and productivist logic has shown its limits with the fall of the main Western giants.
It is by uniting the convictions of each, starting from individual awareness, that we can develop a collective effort. We must first change ourselves to hope to change the world.
Philanthropy is an essential element of a democratic society. Unlike charity which focuses on eliminating suffering, philanthropy supports projects, efforts. Voyage Solidaire offers individuals a reliable and secure way to contribute to charitable projects in France and around the world.
Thanks to the short circuit of our partners of the So-Leader Travel Producers Cooperative, the donation is made impacting the price of the trip. It is paid directly to one of the partner associations, at the choice of the traveller, in France or abroad. The partners undertake to report on the initiatives supported, with the donors having the right to monitor the achievements and future projects.
This symbiosis between the local communities and the partners of the So-Leader Travel Producers' Cooperative facilitates the philanthropy of travel and brings us closer to our goal: to make life good in the most beautiful places in the world.
Our world needs a SNAP OF CONSCIOUSNESS
Our world needs PHILANTHROPY
Each government is mainly concerned with keeping its nationals in its own country, or attracting foreign tourists there, at the cost of massive campaigns intended to maintain or garner foreign exchange, maintain local employment, and balance the trade balance.
But then, how to choose the world in which we want to live if our knowledge of it is limited to our own borders? Staying free of our choices consists of not restricting the range of our knowledge to academic achievements and the content of social networks, means activating all of our senses, touching, tasting, smelling, seeing, listening, by ourselves, without depend on the pedagogy of a teacher or the bias of digital content.
It is by uniting the convictions of each, starting from individual awareness, that we can develop a collective effort. We must first change ourselves to hope to change the world
Our world needs to share convictions
Our world needs ambition
We must give the power to act to each traveler. He must be reminded that his choice, his decision, his freedom are not insignificant and do not concern him alone. We know how to decipher the opacity, the lure of profit, the short-termism which are the prerogatives of the modes of production and distribution of tourism on an industrial scale. Our role is to educate, inform and empower each traveler on marketing tricks and misleading advertising
We would like to remind you that the purchase of a trip, a food product, a means of transport, clothing, must henceforth constitute a vision and evoke a conviction. Individually or collectively, we can destroy or improve our health or that of the planet, secure or weaken our economic systems, social, heritage and cultural assets. Bringing out a new form of tourism based on authenticity, sharing and diversity remains the only alternative to this industrialization which can no longer produce without destroying.
