Experience
Experience our global projects first-hand
The TUI Care Foundation invites travellers to explore its global projects in a personal and meaningful way. These curated activities open a window into the Foundation’s work around the world – from protecting marine ecosystems to supporting local food production, fostering cultural heritage and advancing circular innovation. To support the projects, these tours are also all made available on the experiences platform of TUI Musement, TUI’s excursion business.
TUI Sea the Change Bali
In Bali, guests can join marine conservation experts and witness first-hand how damaged coral reefs are being restored. After snorkelling above vibrant restoration structures in Padangbai that are supported through the TUI Sea the Change programme, participants learn how community members, young conservationists and trained divers work together to revive an ecosystem vital to Indonesia’s coastal biodiversity.
TUI Colourful Cultures Battambang/Siem Reap
In Cambodia, the TUI Colourful Cultures programme offers visitors the chance to experience Phare, the Cambodian Circus – a powerful blend of theatre, acrobatics, dance and live music. The performers are young artists trained at Phare Ponleu Selpak, a non-profit school supported by the Foundation, where underprivileged young people build bright futures through vocational training in the performing arts.
TUI Field to Fork Cape Verde
In Cape Verde, visitors are introduced to sustainable food production at Milot Hydroponic’s farm, that forms part of the TUI Field to Fork programme. The experience provides insights into innovative agriculture on an island with limited arable land and highlights how communities are adapting to environmental pressures. Coastal villages, unique desert landscapes and the natural salt lakes of Pedra de Lume add cultural depth to the tour which is done in 4×4 vehicles.
TUI Sea the Change Dominican Republic
Guests can explore coral-rich waters in the Dominican Republic, as well as observe restoration areas and learn about the importance of healthy reef systems for coastal resilience. Led by marine biologists managing the local TUI Sea the Change programme in the Bávaro area, a guided catamaran ride highlights how marine biodiversity underpins the livelihoods of coastal communities.
TUI Field to Fork Lanzarote
Visitors can experience how tourism and sustainability intersect in a unique volcanic landscape in Lanzarote. Through an experience inspired by the island’s long-standing commitment to environmental stewardship, guests learn about Lanzarote’s biosphere status and the role of responsible tourism in preserving fragile ecosystems. The experience was set up as part of the now completed TUI Field to Fork Lanzarote project and highlights how local culture, architecture and land use have evolved in harmony with nature, reflecting the island’s pioneering approach to sustainable destination management.
TUI Futureshapers London
The most recently launched experiences offer guided city tours in London, which invite visitors to explore the city through the eyes of women who bring their cultural heritage to life. The latest tour is led by Nadia, a London-based guide with deep personal ties to Damascus. Through storytelling, landmark visits and a traditional Syrian tea break, guests are introduced to Syrian culture, migration histories and the power of personal narratives. This experience was created as part of the TUI Futureshapers London programme, which supports women to train as tour guides, develop their own tours and gain a pathway towards financial independence. For participants, it is an opportunity to engage meaningfully with diverse perspectives while supporting women who are building new careers in the tourism sector.
TUI Sea the Change Balearics
In the Balearic Islands, visitors can kayak along the protected coastline of Sa Dragonera. The journey introduces guests to the ecological value of Posidonia oceanica seagrass meadows – one of the Mediterranean’s most important underwater habitats – and to local efforts to safeguard marine biodiversity, which is a goal of the TUI Care Foundation’s TUI Sea the Change programme in partnership with Marilles Foundation.
TUI Colourful Cultures Türkiye
In Türkiye, an experience connected to the local TUI Colourful Cultures project further demonstrates how cultural heritage can create meaningful connections between visitors and local communities. In Fethiye, guests are invited to engage with traditional crafts, local gastronomy and community-led initiatives, including visits to small family-run businesses and the women’s cooperative which was supported by the TUI Care Foundation. The experience offers insight into how preserving intangible cultural heritage can support inclusive economic opportunities and strengthen community resilience.
Destination Zero Waste Zanzibar
The Foundation’s circular economy work also comes to life in Zanzibar, where visitors can engage with the Destination Zero Waste programme. Through a visit to the Chako upcycling centre, guests learn how discarded glass is transformed into artisan tableware, lamps and decorative items. The initiative creates skills, employment and new economic opportunities whilst also reducing waste in a fragile island environment.
