CharitableBookings.com, the travel and lifestyle platform with a social purpose launches, enabling every traveller the opportunity to directly create social impact from the very start of their journey.
Styled the ‘Amazon Smile of Travel’ CharitableBookings.com runs in partnership with global online travel agency Booking.com. Through every travel booking, a donation is given to the customer’s favourite charity at no additional cost to the purchaser, who will also receive additional lifestyle benefits.

Linking with Booking.com, customers will continue to retain all their usual loyalty and entitlements; travel is price-matched, however now it comes with an additional charitable contribution from a portion of their travel costs being donated to their chosen charity.
CharitableBookings.com already has a selection of over 500,000 global charities that directly benefit from each booking donation. More will be added with customers being able to add their favourite charities onto the site. In addition to the charitable donation, together with the Earth Restoration Service, CharitableBookings.com will plant a tree with every travel booking.
