Discova ANZ Account Manager Karlie Day's first trip to Asia left her heartbroken after witnessing the exploitation of animals in the tourism industry. Years later, she has had the opportunity to help shape Discova’s new Animal Welfare Policy, built around compassion, science, and ethical tourism.

Discova's Professional Development Leader, Michaela Connor, articulates how we have aligned our global policies with ChildSafe to protect children and support education-driven change at our destinations in Asia.

Every day, we strive to be a little better than we were yesterday, because small, consistent steps are what lead to lasting change. If we want to create a better future for our people and our planet, this is where it all starts.

2025 has come to an end and, with that, there is an opportunity to reflect on all of the incredible achievements that Team Discova has accomplished over the past year. Suyin Lee, Discova’s Managing Director, offers her insights on the year that was and all that lies ahead.

One educational journey can spark a lifelong passion for purposeful travel. Hanh’s story shows how meaningful experiences can shape future advocates for sustainable tourism.

Our attendance at ITB Asia and WTM London in 2025 coincided with the launch of our eco-conscious retreat, Kaura Bali, which was created in collaboration with the local communities of Manggis.

Discova's Chief Purpose Officer Natalie Vine weighs in on why we should stop seeing destinations as pins on maps, and start seeing them as someone's fascinating life. This would not only transform our travel experiences but also help us build human connections and benefit local communities.

The Bakung Asri Women Farmers’ Group was formed four years ago so that the women of Manggis could play a more active role in the village. Today, these 27 people are at the heart of Kaura's community-led experiences, from hosting cooking classes to body butter-making workshops and more.

What started as a tribute to our beloved friend and colleague Eileen Yee has now become a part of Discova’s culture. Pink Week is a time of giving, laughing, remembering, and lifting others up through education and community action.

Singapore’s hawker centres offer more than meals as they serve as living classrooms where students discover how food, culture, and community intertwine in one of Asia’s most dynamic cities.

At Discova, we’ve set ourselves a big challenge: being the best place in Asia to be a tour guide. Sounds ambitious, right? But here’s the thing—our guides are at the heart of every guest experience, so if we get this right, everything else follows.
