The Slow Fund
At Butterfield & Robinson, ethical tourism is more than a guiding principle—it’s a responsibility we carry with us every step of the journey. We tread lightly and strive to give back meaningfully to the communities we visit. In a world where natural habitats and cultural traditions face growing challenges, we recognize the importance of preserving, investing in and revitalizing the destinations we explore. As advocates of positive-impact travel, we’re dedicated to protecting the cultural and natural heritage of our world for generations to come. Through the Slow Fund, we support projects that align with our mission to create meaningful, lasting contributions. These initiatives address critical needs in education, culture, conservation and community development, ensuring that the impact is both deeply local and far-reaching. By engaging with the Slow Fund, you join us in shaping a future where travel not only inspires but also uplifts and sustains the places we hold dear.
