Travel as a force for change
Our mission
At GINI, we believe travel has the power to transform lives and create lasting impact. Our mission is to use travel as a force for change, empowering overlooked communities, building bridges between cultures, and promoting sustainable and fair tourism practices.
While we are still a start-up, we have embraced a “profit for good” vision. Our goal is to build a sustainable business model where we can invest in impactful projects and donate a substantial portion of our profits to NGOs and non-profits working toward greater equality.
If you would like to support us in making this vision a reality, keep an eye out for our upcoming crowdfunding round and join us on this journey of change.
Inclusive, impactful, and purposeful
What makes us unique
What sets GINI apart is our dedication to creating travel experiences that go beyond the ordinary. From the very start, we have prioritised fair tourism, sustainability, and inclusivity as key pillars of our work.
We focus on empowering communities that are often overlooked, such as queer individuals, biculturals, and people with accessibility needs. Every GINI experience is thoughtfully crafted to foster deeper cultural understanding, personal growth, and lasting connections.

A journey of transformation
How it started
GINI began as a solo travel platform with a vision of promoting fair tourism while prioritising safety and inclusivity. From the start, these values guided our approach to empowering travellers.
Since then, we have learned and grown, transforming into a platform dedicated to empowering overlooked communities, including queer individuals, biculturals, and people with accessibility needs. Our journey has been one of continuous learning, and today, we are proud to offer experiences that celebrate diversity and foster meaningful change.
