WITH MERAKI TRAVEL COLLECTION
What should travel make possible?
We design regenerative and community-based travel experiences toward specific outcomes for individuals, groups and teams.
Two ways in
Join one, or design one with us
Individuals can join experiences already designed through Souló. Groups, communities and teams can begin with the outcome they want the travel to achieve.
For individuals
Join through Souló
Come curious; meet people, enter places and try things you may not have organized on your own.
For groups & teams
Design with With Meraki Travel Collection
Tell us what you want the travel to achieve. We can recommend an existing experience, shape one around your group, or commission something new—locally, across the Philippines or internationally.
Outcome finder
What do you want the travel to achieve?
The outcome helps us decide what people, place, activity, pace and depth make sense.

Places and circuits we are actively building
For a group or team, the destination can be fixed, or we can recommend one based on the outcome.
Destination
Philippines
Coast, highland, city, farm, river and table without reducing an archipelago to one story.
Destination
Italy
Food, craft, landscape and daily life, approached slowly and with local partners.
How we design
Outcome first. Then people, place and experience.
The itinerary is the result of the design process—not the starting assumption.
01
Define the outcome
What should the experience make possible?
02
Understand the people
Who is participating, why, and what constraints matter?
03
Read the context
If place is fixed, what makes it particular? If not, what place best serves the outcome?
04
Design with people
Who holds the relevant knowledge, access, practice, community relationship or stewardship?
05
Compose the experience
How do movement, food, activity, hosting, participation, conversation and pace work as one sequence?
06
Design local value
How does the experience contribute rather than merely consume?
07
Deliver + learn
What happened? What evidence supports repeat, improve or stop?
Impact Passport
The outcome is not only for the traveler.
The Impact Passport records participant intent alongside local value, cultural care, environmental choices, hosts and suppliers, and what delivery taught us.
Participant outcome
We record what the experience is designed to help make possible and what evidence actually emerged.
Local value
We record who helps shape the journey, what is sourced locally and how the experience supports local livelihoods.
Cultural care
Representation, permissions and guest guidance are shaped with the people whose knowledge and culture are present.
Environmental choices
We document practical decisions around transport, materials, food, water, waste and biodiversity.
Stays and suppliers
Where accommodation is included, we record how the stay and key suppliers were screened and what remains to improve.
Community / host agency
We record who shapes the experience and who decides what access, representation and participation are appropriate.
Learning
We record what delivery taught us and what changes next.
Our design framework is informed by the GSTC Tour Operator and Hotel Standards. The Impact Passport is a transparent design and reporting tool; it is not a claim of GSTC certification.
Shared reflections
What stayed with us
Words from guests, hosts and community partners, each speaking from their own place in the journey.
