Since the first event in New York City in 1969, U.S. Travel has hosted the International Pow Wow (IPW) to put America’s tourist destinations up for offer to travel agents from around the world. This year’s event, set in Orlando, was kicked off with a strong environmental angle courtesy of Tourism Cares. The nonprofit partnered with IDEAS for Us (and any convention-goers who volunteered) to service one of Orlando’s many community gardens.
As an organization supporting sustainable and beneficial travel, Tourism Cares maintains three funds that support efforts investing in tourism infrastructure, reestablishing tourism after a natural disaster or promoting diversity within travel. Out of appreciation for IDEAS for Us’ contribution to the beautification and sustainability of Orlando, they were awarded a grant of $10,000.
