• The Transformational Travel Council is an organization that sets standards and promotes the development and participation in more ethical travel experiences to enrich travelers and positively impact travel destinations. The TTC does this by developing Business and Traveler educational programs, media, virtual communities, resources, and approved experiences.
• “Transformational travel is any travel experience that empowers people to make meaningful, lasting changes in their life. Ultimately, it’s a new philosophy on travel that connects travellers to their truest self and to others, cultivating a sense of purpose and belonging.”
• We identify it as a missing link in today’s social purpose and sustainability movements.
• “If our journey transforms ourselves only we will have missed the true power of travel. The transformation must extend to the people, places, and cultures we travel to. Without this the journey becomes a selfish pursuit.”

• It's no secret that travel can — and should — be a life-changing experience: Writers as diverse as Pico Iyer, Henry Miller, Joseph Campbell, and Paolo Coelho have long recognized that travel inspires transformation in our lives, our work, our relationships, our communities, and even the world in which we live. And perhaps now more than ever, people are turning to travel to be a catalyst for personal growth and to help foster cultural and global understanding.
• The Transformational Travel Council (TTC) is a collection of passionate and purpose-driven individuals and organizations dedicated to helping people transform their lives through intentional and meaningful travel experiences. To achieve this mission, we provide inspiration, education, resources, training, and support to travelers and the travel industry. We believe that this mission is critical for the health and well-being of: (a) the individual travelers seeking life-changing experiences, (b) the travel industry who helps create and support these transformational experiences, (c) the larger global community who directly and/or indirectly benefit from the results — the gifts, if you will — of travel.
