The Getaway2Give Collection encourages people to rethink traditional vacations by providing an option to give back. Those who know just how lucky they are to be able to indulge in the luxury of travel can help generate [charitable donations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highvalue-charity-auction) as they enjoy [exclusive private residences around the world](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/escape-packages). A [luxury destination club](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ritzcarlton-yacht-collections), the Getaway2Give Collection impressively raised more than $1.2 million in its first year and a half.

Founded by Rob Vaka, the Getaway2Give Collection was born after he beat cancer. With no annual membership fees, members also have access to superior concierges who help arrange A-list experiences including invite-only parties, concert and upscale restaurant reservations. With more than 30 destinations under its belt so far, the Getaway2Give Collection will appeal to a wide range of altruistic individuals.

## Key Themes

### What Makes This Trend Stand Out

- **Philanthro-tourism:** Offering vacation packages that include philanthropic experiences in the itinerary that can attract travelers who want to make a positive impact.
- **Luxury Giving:** A new way of giving that encourages philanthropy among luxury vacationers and raises awareness of giving back while enjoying exclusive travel destinations.
- **Charity Membership Clubs:** Membership clubs that offer exclusive travel experiences and charitable giving opportunities as part of their overall value proposition.

### Sectors Adopting This

- **Travel and Tourism:** By incorporating philanthropic components in vacation packages, travel industries can offer unique experiences that appeal to travelers wishing to give back while enjoying exclusive destinations.
- **Non-profit Organizations:** Partnering with organizations like Getaway2Give can help non-profit organizations raise funds while offering unique travel experiences to their donors.
- **Luxury Retail:** Luxury retail brands can capitalize on the idea of luxury giving by partnering with Getaway2Give to increase charitable donations and reinforce their brand value of giving back to communities.
