We say Thank you!
10 Years of DER Touristik Foundation
Travel the world with us through 97 projects in 28 countries on five continents
We have supported women in becoming their own masters. We have sent tracking dogs on the trail of poachers. And we have reforested mangroves.
Did we think in 2014 that we would be able to look back on such a record today?
Certainly not!
When we set up our Foundation 10 years ago, we had a vision: as an international travel group, we wanted to use the power of tourism to take responsibility for people, animals and nature in the countries we travel to and help communities realise their full potential.
With your help, we have been able to support almost 100 projects over the past 10 years: From women empowerment to animal welfare projects to active environmental protection – we have set significant changes in motion.
Take a journey through the years by exploring the captivating stories of the people behind the projects. We are delighted about the moving stories they tell us!
