London (3 December) 鈥� This winter, the Experiences Collection by National Geographic Traveller (UK) celebrates adventures that leave a positive impact, either by uplifting local communities or protecting our planet.聽

According to a 2024 Booking.com report, 75% of travellers want to travel more sustainably, while Allied Market Research predicts the global community-based tourism market will soar from 拢435bn in 2022 to 拢1.6 trillion by 2032. These figures demonstrate the growing appeal of meaningful, purpose-driven journeys. 

In this issue, we head to the鈥疭cottish Highlands鈥痶o learn how sustainable tourism initiatives 鈥� from the UK鈥檚 first Highland cow wellbeing experience to a monster-hunting adventure aboard an electric boat 鈥� are helping to safeguard this wild landscape for future generations. We also showcase the new raft of tour operators enabling travellers to give something back, whether they鈥檙e block printing with local artisans in India or making soap with First Nations people in Canada. 

鈥淚t was a privilege to meet Joella Hogan, founder of the Yukon Soaps Company,鈥� says editor Sacha Scoging. 鈥淗er workshops showcase traditional techniques and the cultural value of local plants, while illustrating how Indigenous knowledge can offer vital solutions for a more sustainable future.鈥� 

Elsewhere, we ride horseback through the mineral-coated canyons of鈥疢ongolia鈥檚 Gobi Desert, learn how to surf in鈥疭ri Lanka鈥檚鈥痭ewest hotspot and map out the constellations in Portugal鈥檚 unsung region of Alentejo. All this, plus the ultimate collection of experiences, resorts and retreats to inspire you for your next escape.
