Independent Travel Awards 2015 - your chance to nominate
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The complex relationship between tourism and development is at the fore in 2015. G Adventures has a 10-day trip to Haiti that does more than visit the colourful capital and astonishing Citadelle Laferrière - it also encourages travellers to engage and help with the Art Creation Foundation. “Haiti has a future. Be a part of it,” says the company.
Exodus continued to break new ground in 2015, with a new trip called Sudan Desert Explorer - taking travellers to a country with more pyramids than Egypt, where they explore Nubian villages and discover temples left behind by the Black Pharaohs.
The tragedy in Nepal, where an earthquake claimed thousands of lives in April 2015, reminded us all of the fragility of the earth’s crust - and the tourist industry on which so many people in the developing world. All the adventure operators have responded positively, re-launching programmes as quickly as possible. Explore is donating £100 for every new booking to help rebuild the damaged houses of its team on the ground in Nepal.
