CHARITY FUND RAISING FOR ADVENTURE CHALLENGE TOURS

(hereafter, ) charity challenges are adventure-based events, either hard or soft, that promote community as well as national involvement. Our charity adventure challenge tours brings people together in a fun and cooperative benefit activity that will promote needed recognition and funding to a wide variety of causes. We especially love working with environmentally oriented agencies that are searching for the precious elixir to keep their operations alive and healthy: money!

has been dedicated to fund raising and charity support since its inception in the early 90s. We are a travel and education-based, eco-friendly organization that operates throughout the Americas. We promote biodiversity, cultural awareness, community education, environmental education, adventure and appropriate use of the wilderness. In short, we have the passion, experience, and knowledge to teach the essentials and benefits of how eco travel has a direct and positive impact on the environment. Our market appeal goes out to those who have the time and money to spend on ecotourism and yet who crave serious adventure to match their needs and abilities.

Examples of our adventure challenge tours are found on our web site under the ADVENTURE TOUR (AT) icon. Any of these tours can be modified as fund raising tours, and most can be custom tailored as far as the number of days for the tour. Please e-mail us and find out how easy it is for us to organize these events for your charity and organization, and how easy it is to create a win-win situation for everyone involved. If organizations, clubs, companies, and educational facilities (i.e., universities, natural history museums, etc.) are looking for a way to express generosity and provide travel incentives for members and associates, we feel the adventure challenge programs are a perfect solution. Needless to say, the benefits earned by the charities that are sponsored can raise untold income in a spirited, enjoyable, and challenging way. The method used to raise such sought after funds by charities is also a terrific outlet to ecologically friendly, educational outdoor action.

Your business, organization, club and community will thoroughly benefit from our adventure challenge tours in a number of important ways. Please e-mail us for those special projects we love supporting. We would also like to know some of your favorite projects, too.

Happy trails and we hope to hear from your group about running an adventure challenge tour for you.

MAKING ECOTOURISM COUNT

Adventure-Based Fund Drives geared for the marriage of charity and challenge charitable organizations and ecologically conscious travel outfitters have each been working their separate angles on how best to provide contributions to causes that have direct impact on human beings and/or their environment. The marriage of charity to that of an adventure challenge seems to be providing an answer to the invitation of creating eco-travel programs (as tours) that have immediate as well as long lasting impacts. Our charity eco-challenges are blended with ecology education and so, both generate funds in the short term and in the long term insure that participants come away with a broadened awareness of environmental issues. For the charities it opens up an entire realm of possibilities. The adventurous enticements of eco-tourism allied with the rewarding feelings that come with magnanimity are producing new avenues for charities to find funds and other kinds of support, too.

Let us take a look at a prime example of the successful collaboration between eco-outfitter and charity organization. By signing up for the adventure fund raising bike tours the participants were winners and their
favorite charity won, too. Demonstrably, the adventure challenge tours are a very effective say of making ecotourism count. As a commercial eco tour operator based in the Southwest, we provide a safe, professional
guides and educational services with meticulous logistical support, great food and accommodations, from the rugged to the regal and everything in between. We specialize in educationally based tours based on ecology,
ethno-cultural, and historical background. Both soft and hard adventure tours and travel are our forte. We, of , actively seek the adventure challenge market because of the unique way these tours benefit what we love doing the most: teaching and sharing the essentials and benefits of how eco travel has a direct and positive impact on the real star of our show: the invaluable open spaces and the all creatures great and
small that call it home.

Our market appeal goes out to those who have the time and money to spend on ecotourism and yet who crave serious adventure to match their needs and abilities.
