Purpose-Lab-Manifest1

Manifest

Purpose Lab stimulates tourism that is harmonious with all those involved with this manifest. We want this to show that conscious decisions also has benefits for the traveler, because it makes the experiences more personal and more authentic when you are there.

Good decisions about the ecological, sociological and economical aspects of traveling make for a valuable exchange that makes the vacation more fun, enriches the hosting country and minimizes the emission.

Every culture has its own customs

01. Traveling gives you the opportunity to enhance your image of the world and helps you to put your own life in perspective. You are a guest in someone else’s country and culture. Leave the comfort zone, read about it and give yourself to it.

Share your happiness

02. Value for your money makes for a good feeling, but sharing because you can feels even better most of the time. Support a local project with a donation from the company’s profit or your own traveling budget.

Be a detourist

03. Discovering yourself makes your travel experience unforgettable. Stay clear of the masses and busy periods. That preserves the culture and nature of the place that you are visiting and makes your vacation more fun.

Choose local

04. Coleur locale gives color to your trip. Choose local restaurants, guides and homestays. Your expenses are often a meaningful economical impulse to the place you are visiting.

Kids will be kids

05. Locals will enrich your trip. Kids are their best selves when they can really be kids. Meet them when they are in their element and stay away from commercial activities with kids like volunteer work or a visit to an orphanage.

Into the wild

06. Spot animals without hunting them in their habitat. Wild animals are not just waiting to pose for a picture or to cuddle with people, swim with them or carry them around on their backs.

Plastic is not fantastic

07. Travel light, literally! Refill your water bottle with safe drinking water at special refill spots. Minimize paper by saving your travel documents in an app.

Give unknown countries a chance

08. Unknown does not mean unloved for those that look for a unique experience. Destinations that are not likely to visit are often the most surprising.

Save the environment

09. Everyone who lives and travels produces emission. Challenge yourself to minimize. Make your transport worth its while by choosing longer vacations, direct flights or travel by train for short distances. Compensate the CO2 emission of your flight, rental car, train ride and accommodation.

The value of money

10. Vacation is good for you and for the hosting country. Tourism is the most important part of income in nearly half of the poorest countries in the world. Try to cut back when it comes to hunting for bargains and changing the price.
