Our parent company, Great Escape Travel Services LLC, operates within the Travel Industry as a social enterprise.
Social enterprises are businesses with strong social objectives that reinvest their excess profits in the community – local and global – rather than maximize their profits for stakeholders.
Great Escape Travel Services is committed to providing increased funding opportunities to organizations that enhance the quality of life within our communities – both locally and globally. Through our TravelShare Program, we donate our net proceeds from the sale of travel services to select clubs, charities and/or non-profit organizations.
It is important to note - Through our affiliations with our suppliers our pricing is as competitive as any travel agency within the industry. We strive to provide our clients at all times with real value vacations to meet and exceed their expectations. Our TravelShare Program constitutes a genuine donation from our company’s earned profit and is not a case of "adding on to take off."
The following organizations include those that have special meaning to the principals of the company and other members of our Great Escape Team and those that operate in our fields of interest: the environment, animals, and enterprise development.
Animals for Life
Animals for Life is a no-kill animal shelter located in Middlebury, Connecticut. Its volunteers provide adoption services and care for all animals, especially homeless cats and dogs.
Vieques Humane Society
The Vieques Humane Society (VHS) is a private, non-profit organization dedicated to improving the welfare of all animals on the island of Vieques, Puerto Rico. VHS offers the only veterinary services on the island and has developed many community-based programs.
Young Entrepreneurs Alliance
The Young Entrepreneurs Alliance (YEA) is a non-profit company dedicated to suporting teens at-risk for criminal behavior in turning their lives around through business ownership, job training, financial education and academic support.
