At Hidden Doorways, we believe giving back is an integral part of the travel experience. Our program, Going There, Giving Back®, will enable us to make a donation to a charity in the country your clients are traveling to, a donation which will make a difference in the lives of many. On behalf of your clients, we will donate funds to the charity of their choice from the below list.
