The Change Makers agent event is headed to India this year, as G Adventures and its non-profit partner, Planeterra, have confirmed the GX Community Tourism Summit will return in 2024.
“Last year we hosted our first GX Summit in Peru, and I was mind blown by the feedback we received following the event. There was no question we had to repeat this experience. The feedback from attendees was so encouraging, people came back energized about the power of community tourism to make a real difference to people in the places we visit.
“India is an electrifying location, and one that really needs
tourism’s support. It’s not fully bounced back since the pandemic, so I’m
excited to host our guests and to be able to encourage more people to travel to
India the right way at the same time. There’s no better feeling for me than
seeing all our communities come together over one shared experience. We learn a
lot, but we also have a lot of fun,” says Poon Tip.
Running from September 24 - 29, 2024, the second GX Summit will
once again incorporate the Change Makers agent event, which brings agents of
change from around the world together, with the trip culminating in an all-day
World Community Tourism celebration on World Tourism Day, September 27, 2024.
Change Makers is live now and runs until May 31, 2024.
The campaign incentivizes agents to focus on changing people's lives through travel by booking G Adventures trips. Agents who successfully earn a place at Change Makers will see firsthand how their work directly impacts local communities in the places they send their travellers to, through the lens of a six-day trip to India.
The GX Summit will take agents on a six-day exploration of sights, sounds and community tourism highlights across Delhi, Jaipur and Agra and more. The World Community Tourism Day Summit on September 27 will bring media, agents, suppliers and travellers together to hear from inspiring speakers about how community tourism has the power to change people’s lives for the better.
