Past initiatives


Designed to help travel startups and small businesses take off, our Accelerator Program provided mentorship, technology access, and funding to fast-track  growth. The program focused heavily on removing barriers to travel, improving experiences for people with accessibility needs, and enhancing safety and inclusivity.


Our Made to Travel Fund partnered with nonprofits and impact-driven organizations through a dedicated grant program. Funding helped actively remove barriers for underrepresented communities and created real opportunities for more people to explore the globe.
