Chris Hill created a concept of eco-luxury vacations that
include philanthropic volunteering.
The vision began in 2002, during a trip to South Africa, where he helped build a home for a local family.

That experience was more fulfilling than his successful finance career in London, inspiring him to pursue a new path.
He launched Hands Up Holidays, which later included this additonal concierge service for Impact Destinations.

EcoLuxury
His background in finance became an advantage — many of his former colleagues became early investors.
For over 20 years, Impact Destinations has curated hands-on philanthropic travel experiences for families.
Chris recognized a growing trend among his clients: many families are “cash rich and time poor.”
Parents want their children to have meaningful experiences that build empathy, compassion, and global awareness.
Families now seek out Chris specifically to design philanthropic eco-luxury vacations.
Examples of unique, hands-on volunteer experiences include:
Working with wildlife experts to rescue a rhinoceros from poachers and relocate it to a protected sanctuary.
Traveling to Baja, California, to release newly hatched sea turtles into the ocean, supporting marine conservation.
