From Tourist to Changemaker: Travel as Activism

Traveling is not just an escapeā€”itā€™s a choice that carries responsibility. At ORMA, we turn travel into a tool for change, offering Sustainable Organized Trips that connect you with those tackling the worldā€™s most pressing challenges.

Our group trips are designed to inspire action, foster meaningful connections and generate positive impact. We offer experiences that change your perspective and integrate you into a community of activists, leaving you aware of your ability to make a difference.

Thematic urban explorations

Orma Guides transforms cities into activism laboratories: thematic tours led by activists, exploring politics, science or urban ecology. An immersion in the city reality, with a specific format, where knowledge becomes action.

Our activists: the ORMA Guides

They provide authentic experiences tied to their passions, all aimed at fostering positive change.

Why are our trips for 'activists'?

They are designed to deepen passions and embrace causes. In today's world, you're either an activist or you're not.

An activist is educated about their cause.

We set out on trips informed about the destination and the purpose, aiming to understand and learn more.

An activist is open to discussion and dialogue.

Traveling offers a unique opportunity to engage with people we wouldn't normally meet.

An activist doesn't necessarily have to champion a major cause.

Even small battles and little gestures matter, and can genuinely impact the world.
