Discover the World

For 40 years, Discover the World has been at the forefront of crafting personalised travel experiences that celebrate the beauty of our planet and its diverse cultures. As a responsible travel specialist, the company believes that every journey should be enriching and sustainable, balancing the desire for exploration with the need to protect fragile environments.

Discover the World has earned ethy’s Community Champion ecolabel for its impactful work in supporting education both in the UK and abroad. Through its Education Bursary Fund, the company provides fully funded school trips for disadvantaged students, allowing them to experience the wonders of places like Iceland, Italy, and the Azores. Additionally, Discover the World creates and distributes free, high-quality teaching resources and professional development workshops for teachers. This initiative extends beyond traditional commercial activities, using the company’s travel expertise to directly benefit the educational community.

The brand’s commitment to social responsibility extends to its own staff, having earned the Living Wage ecolabel by paying all employees the Real Living Wage, as independently calculated by the Living Wage Commission. This ensures a fair standard of living and reflects Discover the World’s dedication to supporting its workforce.

As part of its operations, Discover the World also provides several electric vehicle (EV) charging points at its facilities to encourage the use of low-carbon transport among employees. This initiative aligns with the company’s broader commitment to minimising its carbon footprint and promoting environmentally considerate travel choices.

By combining a passion for travel with a strong sense of responsibility, Discover the World demonstrates that meaningful travel experiences can also support positive change in communities and contribute to a more sustainable future.
