Travel With Purpose

Prince Harry's Travalyst initiative brings together Skyscanner, Booking.com, and Visa to reshape global tourism for the benefit of local communities and the environment.

A System Shift for Global Tourism

Prince Harry's vision for Travalyst addresses environmental challenges of unprecedented scope and scale, requiring a giant system shift to make a significant enough impact. The initiative focuses on benefiting local communities who host travelers, protecting plant and wildlife, offsetting carbon emissions and excess waste, and removing pressure from congested tourist areas. As Harry states, "Travel has the unparalleled power to open people's minds to different cultures, new experiences, and to have a profound appreciation for what our world has to offer." This is the philosophy that guides Yampu's commitment to responsible travel.

The Four Pillars of Travalyst

How sustainable travel protects destinations and communities for generations to come.

  • Support local communities and economies

  • Protect plant and wildlife habitats

  • Offset carbon emissions and waste

Why Travel Matters

"Travel has the unparalleled power to open people's minds to different cultures, new experiences, and to have a profound appreciation for what our world has to offer," says Prince Harry. As tourism grows, so does the opportunity to travel responsibly. Seventy-eight percent of travelers actively seek authentic experiences that represent local culture, and 68% believe their money should benefit the communities they visit. At Yampu, we've built our entire approach around this principle: travel that sustains destinations rather than depletes them.
