We are investing mission-aligned capital into the world-changing businesses shaping the future of tourism.

The Reset Tourism Fund invests in small tourism businesses that:

  • Are led by under-represented founders and leaders
  • Imbed community-enhancing practices into their business models
  • Fight poverty and restore livelihood by providing good jobs
  • Regenerate rather than extract from the natural environment
  • Offer meaningful experiences for ALL travelers, especially those from groups that have been historically underserved and neglected by the industry
