Social Responsibility
Sustainable Travel Abroad
More than amazing sights and experiences, our wonderful world is made up of communities. Goway takes is commitment to sustainable travel seriously, helping to ensure our destinations remain healthy and vibrant for future generations. We carefully source all of our local partners to ensure ethical and sustainable travel. We’re also continually updating and fine-tuning our itineraries, in order to ensure we’re constantly improving.
Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF)
Provides emergency medical humanitarian assistance to people facing conflict, epidemics, disasters or exclusion from healthcare in more than 70 countries around the world.
Thanks to the generosity of a global community of supporters, MSF teams are able to act swiftly when an emergency strikes, based on MSF’s own assessment of medical needs. A donation to MSF’s general fund enables doctors, nurses, logisticians, and administrators, among others, to effectively implement the thousands of vital medical interventions they provide every year. It also allows MSF staff to respond quickly to unexpected emergencies, including the war in Ukraine, the Syria-Türkiye earthquakes, flooding in Pakistan, malnutrition in South Sudan and many more crises. It is crucial in emergency situations that people’s medical needs – and MSF’s ability to respond to those needs – are what determine MSF’s humanitarian actions.
We are thrilled to announce our new partnership with MSF. For every ticket/package purchased, a donation will be made to help support MSF. In addition, we encourage all our loyal customers to visit Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders donation page, where you can donate directly to help MSF teams continue their medical humanitarian work.
We believe travel not only enriches the lives of individuals but can also positively impact communities around the world. Through our collective partnership with MSF, your travel will directly contribute to MSF’s general emergency fund and help support people facing humanitarian crises. For every travel purchase, you will help provide MSF teams with the flexibility to respond quickly and effectively wherever people’s healthcare needs are greatest. We invite our customers to join us in our goal to promote sustainable and responsible travel while supporting a meaningful cause. With every travel package purchased, together we can make a difference.
