When you ask, “How can my trip be a force for good?” we have an answer: social enterprise tourism.
Social enterprises are businesses that maximize profits while maximizing benefits to society and the environment. At MBM, success and purpose are inseparable. We’re not a travel company that does charity on the side—creating positive impact is embedded in everything we do.
Unlike traditional businesses that prioritize shareholder returns or charities that rely on donations, we blend the best of both worlds:
Travel naturally connects diverse suppliers, accommodations, dining, transportation, experiences, and shopping. This creates an opportunity to choose partners who benefit local people and communities intentionally.
✓ Travelers gain authentic experiences. Real connections with communities and meaningful stories, not manufactured tourism
✓ Money stays local. Revenue supports local economies rather than extracting wealth.
✓ Communities gain agency. Local people shape their own tourism development.
✓ Destinations strengthen. Tourism becomes a force that builds rather than exploits.
✓ Everyone benefits. Communities thrive, travelers experience genuine hospitality, and impact multiplies.
