Kind Traveler Expands for Earth Day: The Travel Revolution That Gives Back

Every Stay Gives Back: Growing Kindness One Destination at a Time

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA / ACCESS Newswire / April 3, 2025 / In celebration of Earth Day - recognized by over a billion people across 192 countries - Kind Traveler announces a major expansion of its Every Stay Gives Back (ESGB) program. With 20 newly onboarded hotels and 16 charity partnerships across 16 destinations worldwide, Kind Traveler continues its mission to make travel a force for kindness, creating measurable impact for local communities and ecosystems.

New destinations include Patagonia, Chile; Maui, Hawaii; Palermo, Italy; Victoria, Canada; Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts; Cannonville, Utah; and nine locations across California in collaboration with Visit California. Since launching in September 2023, the program has raised $530,000+ for local charities.

TURN YOUR VACATION INTO A GIFT TO THE PLANET

Kind Traveler's Every Stay Gives Back program - founded by a woman-and-veteran-owned public benefit corporation - makes charitable giving part of every hotel stay. Regardless of how a stay is booked, a portion of the revenue supports vetted nonprofits in wildlife conservation, food security, disaster relief, and environmental restoration.

Guests receive access to live impact dashboards to see how their stay contributes to real-world change, fostering transparency, education, and inspiration to travel kindly.
