What you can do at Whole Travel

About Whole Travel

Founded in 2006, Whole Travel is a portal for discovering sustainable travel opportunities. What does this mean? We’ve searched the globe to bring together thousands of unique, undiscovered and most importantly sustainable travel destinations. We bring this information to you in an easy to use, streamlined interface.

We want to change the way you search for travel - instead of thinking of dates and locations, think of experiences. Try typing “fly fishing” or “experience of a lifetime” into our search engine and we bet you’ll find an appealing destination that you never would have discovered otherwise. Of course, if you already know the destination you desire, you can search for that too. When you find what you’re looking for, we send you directly to the resort or hotel to make your booking.

Feel confident that Whole Travel’s team of experts in sustainability, technology, web search, consumer services and social media have worked to create a world-class travel research and booking site.

it’s your planet. travel it. preserve it.

What Whole Travel doesn’t do

We’re not a store. In fact, we don’t sell anything. Our goal is simply to bring you the best and most unique content so that you can discover new destinations and have the travel experience of a lifetime. And when you decide you want to learn even more than we have in our site, we send you directly to the hotel’s website so you can hear it straight from the horse’s mouth. We’re not hear to limit your access to information and don’t want you to waste time scanning non-relevant results. We’ll just show you what’s out there, help you discover your adventure, and send you there with a single click.

How Whole Travel makes money

It’s like we said above - we don’t sell anything. Unlike travel agencies that take commissions on your bookings or larger tour organizers who tack on a service fee, our service is completely free to travelers. Instead, we make money when travelers click on our advertisements. This is an advertising revenue model for all you academic types, and our travel suppliers love it because we offer some of the most qualified leads they can get.

So check us out whenever you want some inspiration for a new adventure or are looking to discover a new sustainable destination. If you subscribe to our newsletter, we’ll give you a Whole Travel trip idea every month. We’re here to discover with you, so drop us a line and we’ll get back to you.
