Luxury Positive Impact Trips made for you

Luxury travel that makes a difference

Travel with purpose and delve into community, culture and conservation

No matter your destination, the most incredible adventures share a profound respect for local communities and the environment. At Jacada, we believe tourism can – and should – be a force for positive change.  

This commitment is reflected in every trip we plan, guided by our Positive Impact Principles, developed in accordance with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals.

The Positive Impact Collection goes one step further, showcasing the world’s most remarkable accommodations and experiences. Each one has been rigorously evaluated, among them activities as rewarding as they are transformative and properties as trailblazing as they are exclusive – enabling your journey to have the power to help preserve, support and regenerate culture, biodiversity and heritage. You’ll find a selection across the trips and destinations highlighted below.

You could set off on wildlife experiences, such as capturing a privileged glimpse of an endangered black rhino in the morning sunlight in Namibia. Or cycle through the Makgadikgadi salt pans in Botswana to view the epic zebra and wildebeest migration.

For a cultural immersion, you might feast on a traditional pachamanca lunch cooked on hot stones underground by Peru’s Patacancha community. Alternatively, learn organic winemaking techniques on a sustainable wine tour in the Médoc, France, or tour downtown Nairobi guided by young people who grew up on the city’s streets.

The hotels in the collection contribute to protecting and serving their environments and communities in a range of ways. Wilderness Jao Camp collaborates with small-scale farming businesses to enhance food security in Botswana, while Caiman Lodge in Brazil works with non-profits to research and protect the jaguar population.

And if you’re dreaming of an experience you don’t see here, speak to your travel designer about tailoring your trip to your interests and passions.
