Founded 40 years ago and constantly evolving, Voyageurs du Monde designs journeys that respect people, cultures, and the
environment. Convinced that tourism is one tool among others to promote peace, human rights, and the economic development of
the world’s most disadvantaged regions, Voyageurs du Monde is committed to:
– Organizing travel experiences based on genuine encounters, thoughtful exploration, sharing, and the promotion of strong
universal values.
– Supporting specific initiatives such as the Satyagraha House in Johannesburg, South Africa — a guesthouse and museum
dedicated to Gandhi, who lived there and developed his now-universal doctrine of nonviolent resistance.
– Providing ongoing support to various humanitarian aid and human rights organizations, including Unitaid, Human Rights Watch,
and FIDH (International Federation for Human Rights).
– Carrying out social initiatives: through its Philippe Romero Insolite Bâtisseur Foundation, Voyageurs du Monde allocates nearly
2 million euros annually to humanitarian, environmental, and social projects (support for marginalized individuals, aid to
migrants, and the fight against climate change), in partnership with organizations such as SOS Méditerranée and the Refettorio.
The involvement of Voyageurs du Monde alongside the Bayeux Award for War Correspondents is a natural extension of these
commitments.
