Our Compass
IamaGoodTraveller has been launched as the main reference for Responsible Travel worldwide. Here you will find our Great Constellation of Sustainable Travel Destinations. All of them are seriously committed to welcoming you as a Good Traveller and, through their IamaGoodTraveller Guide, offer you helpful advice on how to extend your sustainability-oriented lifestyle during your visits and enjoy a genuine experience, an honest and open-minded encounter with your hosts’ cultures, ways of life, food and environments.

Thank you Fondazione Santagata
We wish to acknowledge and express our gratitude to Fondazione Santagata for the Economics of Culture (Turin, Italy). Through their dedication and applied expertise we were able to develop one of our platform’s key components: the Travel Destination Rating (TDR) system. The TDR not only helps our Good Travellers find the most sustainable Travel Destinations in our Constellation, but also shines a light on the Destination’s roadmap to sustainability.
Thank you Alessio Re and your team of talented research experts for all your kind assistance in developing our independently verified TDR system.
