Our ranking methodology
At Tourism with heart, we believe travel can be a force for good. Discover how we meticulously evaluate destinations to help you make responsible and impactful travel choices that align with your values.
What makes a destination truly responsible?
When we assess a travel spot, we look beyond the surface to understand its true impact. We consider several key factors that demonstrate a commitment to being a good place to visit, ensuring your travel dollars support ethical and sustainable practices. Our primary considerations include human rights rankings, environmental factors, and the well-being of local communities.
Prioritizing human dignity
For us, the single most important factor that makes a destination stand out as 'having a heart' is how they treat their citizens. Human rights are our number one priority. We deeply investigate the political structure, healthcare systems, educational opportunities, and infant mortality rates, all of which reflect how a country internally strives to treat its people. Your travel choices can amplify these positive efforts.
Our comprehensive evaluation process
To determine if a destination truly meets our standards, we meticulously review any published information available. This includes leveraging world data from reputable organizations and neutral information sources. We also consider data directly from a country's personal data banks when available, ensuring our assessments are based on comprehensive, unbiased, and verifiable information. This rigorous approach helps you travel with confidence.
