Places
We are committed to the cultural and historical preservation of the destinations we visit, to help to ensure the past is present for the future – and to help foster understanding in an interconnected world. Through responsible travel practices and community partnerships, we aim to protect heritage sites, support local artisans, and promote cultural exchange for generations to come.
Sustainable Development Goals
The United Nations has established 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs); adopted by all United Nations Member States, they aim to address global challenges and achieve a better and more sustainable future for all. We are aligning our efforts with this framework of UN goals as sustainable travel protects our planet, preserves cultural heritage, and supports communities.
Our Sustainable Development Goals for Places focus on preserving natural landscapes, protecting biodiversity, promoting sustainable land use, and ensuring that our travel practices leave minimal environmental footprints. We support conservation efforts, encourage eco-friendly tourism, and engage in initiatives that restore and maintain the beauty and health of the destinations we visit.

Project: Reimagining Mormon Row project at Grand Teton National ParkTauck has provided multiple grants over several decades to ensure the protection and preservation of the history and stories of Mormon Row – a "line village" (formerly called the Community of Grovont) that was one of the earliest communities settled by Mormons from the Salt Lake region; it was acquired to expand Grand Teton National Park, and is on the National Register of Historic Places. A longstanding supporter of the revitalization, Tauck actively participates in volunteerism including Hammer Corps, a program in which Tauck employees helped restore and preserve this iconic treasure.

Project: Restoration of the Antonín Dvořák Birth House
A Tauck grant supports the restoration of the Baroque birth house of celebrated Czech composer Antonín Dvořák; adjacent to Nelahozeves Castle, it is a very significant destination for music lovers worldwide. This national landmark will be developed into a center for education, inspiring and nurturing young musical talent with dedicated practice and performance spaces, courses, and workshops – and diverse outreach programs will offer new ways to appreciate and engage with Dvořák's life and music.
