Greetings from CEO

British social entrepreneur Jamie Oliver says his cooking makes people happy and becomes the seed that changes the world. I also think that people learn a lot and feel happiness, joy, through the Fair Travel, and it becomes the grounds of positive change of society.

......Life begins at the end of one’s comfort zone. Sometimes people just focus on the how they can enjoy comfortableness in their travel with good hotel with beautiful scenery. However, we believe when we think more about what destination we are going, and what kind of culture they have, the travel brings more valuable experience than we expected. In the process of preparing for the trip, their life is start to change. The travel brings you full of inspiration and happiness which never experienced if you just click full packaged luxury tour. You can meet local people intimately, and it leads to become friends together and they become your life asset that warmly support you. This is the Fair Travel that we provide.

It is not perfect way to cover all issues around the world, but we still believe it is worth to try. That’s why we keep doing this social business.
