Who is the V Social Foundation?
The V Social Foundation is a non-profit organization that since more than 20 years inspires local development for communities in tourist destinations. We support community based tourism projects with a visible impact for both host community and travelers. We achieve sustainability in our projects, because we understand both, local development needs and the requirements to create meaningful human connections through travel. We invite you to be part of a movement towards responsible travel.
