Our Destinations
Make Memories Fund
A portion of your booking going towards good.
On tour we spread awareness and educate on how we can respect land and sea. We also showcase first nations culture as well as highlight social issues.
Not only are we highlighting these things on tour, each booking that you make, we make a donation to the Make Memories Fund. This fund is split between 4 causes: land, ocean, first nations culture and social impact – and donations are made to a charity that falls under each cause.
The 4 charities we support are Mornington Peninsula Koala Conservation, The Penguin Foundation, Children’s Ground and WILL2LIVE.
Land
With the land we wanted to support native animals which we see on the Welcome to Melbourne tour. Annually we have a tree planting day as a Community which you will be invited to.
Ocean
With the ocean we wanted to support a cause which is close to our hearts and Phillip Island Nature Park helps support the population of penguins in Australia.
Culture
At Welcome to Travel we believe that every child have the basic right to education and we want to support this with the First Nation’s communities.
Impact
Travel is a privilege and we know there are people less fortunate. We want to support people who have fallen on hard times by donating meals.
