Gap adventures can you feel it

Profits have resulted in a new restaurant pavilion and a computer laboratory for local students. According to Planeterra, micro-enterprises associated with the restaurant saw revenue increases of over percent during that same time span. Planeterra sends a quarterly newsletter to its donor network with updates on statistics, new project launches, and human impact stories. Once a year, Planeterra also publishes an Impact Report. An internal quarterly newsletter also keeps staff informed about ongoing projects, and highlight top fundraisers and various initiatives happening that are occurring within G Adventures and Planeterra.

The results, which I witnessed last week during a visit to Peru, appeared to work out well for all the parties involved. Locals who were asked to speak expressed enthusiasm about the positive impact these projects had on their lives. Visitors were able to experience the local culture, dined on freshly prepared local cuisine, and could purchase goods, from sweaters to herbal teas, that they knew would directly benefit their hosts.
