The 2026 Social Entrepreneurs in Tourism Competition is underway, and we are building the team that helps make it happen.

We are looking for experienced professionals to join us as jury members or mentors, and we would love to have you on board.

• Jury members evaluate applications and select the ten finalists who will compete at the final Pitch Contest in November.

• Mentors work directly with those finalists during a six-week mentorship period, offering one-on-one guidance to help them grow their ventures.

Both roles are on a volunteer basis and a real opportunity to support the next generation of social entrepreneurs who are using tourism as a force for good.

There’s something especially meaningful about travel when it creates opportunities for others too. Friends at the Phuket Hotels Association are currently running the PHAB 8 “Absolutely Fabulous Travel Sale” — an online charity auction featuring luxury hotel stays, travel experiences, staycations, dining packages and wellness getaways across the Asia-Pacific region.

The auction runs until May 27 at 2 PM Bangkok time, and there are some genuinely fantastic deals available. Every purchase supports a travel or hospitality student in Phuket. The more expensive deals are at the top — as you scroll down, it gets cheaper. Check it out, maybe you’ll find a nice getaway!

Over the years, PHAB initiatives have already helped support more than 125 local students pursuing hospitality careers.

Purchases accepted via PayPal, Thai QR code transfer or Bank Transfer.

I founded Monkeys & Mountains - one of Europe's leading hiking tour companies and have spent years figuring out what actually moves the needle. I built these AI tools and tested them in my own business before offering them to anyone else.

Results from my own tour company:

- €27,285 in additional revenue in 2 months from a custom client training plan - clients said it was a deciding factor in booking us over a competitor

- 257 email signups in 3 months, zero ad spend, from a branded AI lead magnet

- 89% clickthrough to tour pages from a custom AI Tour Finder - built for any type of tour operator

3 custom-built tools, written in your brand voice, yours to keep. One-time build fee. No subscriptions, no agencies, no ad spend.

Tested on my own tours first. Proven before offered.
