G Adventures announces G Trek for Good 2026

 

Fifty travel industry colleagues are invited to step up for the adventure of a lifetime on the Camino de Santiago, Spain, in April

 

Following five years of tough challenges and incredible fundraising achievements from the British travel industry, G Adventures is excited to announce that G Trek for Good 2026 will take on the world-famous Camino de Santiago in Spain.

 

Taking place 13-20 April 2026, the 100km-long trek will be the biggest yet, with 50 travel industry members invited to take part with a shared goal of raising £50,000 for two life-changing organisations.

 

Funds raised will be split equally between Planeterra, G Adventures’ non-profit partner which uses community tourism to change lives globally, and ABTA LifeLine, which provides financial and emotional support to UK travel industry colleagues in need.

 

The Camino de Santiago is one of the world’s most famous treks, made up of a series of ancient pilgrimage routes that weave their way through Portugal, France and Northern Spain, ending at the staggering UNESCO World Heritage Site of Santiago de Compostela Cathedral in northwest Spain.

 

Brian Young, Managing Director EMEA at G Adventures, said: “The Camino de Santiago is a hike that people travel thousands of miles across the world to experience. It’s beautiful, but with long days on the path plus the curveball of carrying our own kit, this is a trek that will challenge us and will bring us all together. The sense of camaraderie on these challenges, and the shared purpose of raising funds for two vital organisations, always proves to be hugely rewarding for everybody involved.”

 

“G Trek for Good is about creating lasting impact for the communities that we support. Every step counts, and we’re excited to have double the number of spots available. I’m calling on my industry colleagues to take on a new challenge and experience something truly fulfilling, whilst also changing lives through travel.” he continues.

 

Previous treks have taken place in Colombia’s Lost City, Morocco’s Mount Toubkal, Choquequirao in Peru and Tanzania’s Mount Kilimanjaro. Since launching in 2019, the initiative has raised over £165,000 and has become a key event in the UK travel trade calendar.

 

There are still spots remaining. Keen participants can register their interest here.
