Together for Impact

Canada happens naturally. Leaving it better takes all of us.

Every year hundreds of thousands of Australians cross the Pacific for glacier lakes, old growth forests and rivers that run with salmon. Canada gives travellers the extraordinary as a matter of course. The question the Australian travel industry started asking was what those journeys give back.

Together for Impact is the answer: the Australian travel industry's collective promise that travel to Canada supports the people and places that make it unforgettable. The companies on this page have gone further. They have built ecosystem restoration, led with First Nations communities, into the trips you book. Travel to Canada with them and native forest goes in the ground.

How impact happens here

The industry leads.

Pledge signatories build ecosystem restoration into the Canada holidays they sell, with First Nations partners leading on the ground.

Travellers add to it.

Every booking plants native trees in verified Canadian projects. Add your own and watch them grow.

Landscapes thrive.

From coastal rainforest to river corridors, native canopy returns, wildlife follows, and the places travellers love keep getting stronger.

The businesses above sell Canada for a living. Under the pledge, they have tied real restoration to the trips they sell: native trees in the ground for bookings made, habitat recovering season by season, progress you can watch live. It is tourism as a force for good, measured in trees.

"Together for Impact has always been about what our industry can do when it acts collectively. Australian travel companies building restoration on Tseshaht lands into the trips they sell is the pledge made real. Every booking becomes part of Canada's renewal."
