Kind Traveler and<\/span> Los Angeles Tourism<\/b><\/a> & Convention Board (Los Angeles Tourism) have joined forces to empower travelers to raise funds for wildfire relief through Kind Traveler\u2019s Every Stay Gives Back (ESGB) program. In just a few short months, and with the support of nine leading Los Angeles hotel partners, the program <\/span>has already generated more than $173,000 in direct relief for wildfire survivors <\/b>through <\/span>The Change Reaction\u2019s Wildfire Direct Giving Fund<\/b>. With momentum building, the initiative is on track to raise half a million dollars by the end of January 2026, offering a lifeline to families still grappling with the devastating financial impacts of the January 2025 wildfires \u2013 including displacement, job loss, and the ongoing struggle to rebuild their lives.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"\u201cWith more than $1.5 million in donations raised in 24 months since the launch of Kind Traveler\u2019s Every Stay Gives Back model, it\u2019s proven that tourism can be a powerful force for disaster recovery, community healing, and ecosystem restoration,\u201d said <\/span>Jessica Blotter, CEO & Co-Founder of Kind Traveler<\/b>. \u201cBy channeling the economic strength of every hotel stay directly into local communities, we\u2019re able to deliver immediate relief while also helping destinations rebuild stronger and more resilient.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Echoing that sentiment, <\/span>Adam Burke, President & CEO of Los Angeles Tourism<\/b>, emphasized the program\u2019s importance for the city: \u201cThe tourism industry is one of the most powerful economic drivers in Los Angeles, and with that strength comes a responsibility to support our communities in times of crisis. This program embodies what our industry stands for, harnessing the impact of travel to deliver immediate relief and lasting resilience to Angelenos. Supporting initiatives like Every Stay Gives Back isn\u2019t an add-on for us; it\u2019s part of the DNA of Los Angeles Tourism and reflects our commitment to ensuring tourism benefits both visitors and residents alike.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Every Stay Supports The Change Reaction\u2019s Wildfire Direct Giving Fund<\/b><\/p>\n

The participating leading Los Angeles hotels, including many of the city\u2019s most celebrated luxury properties, are supporting The Change Reaction with every hotel stay. Through this initiative, $1 from every hotel night is donated to The Change Reaction\u2019s Wildfire Relief Program,<\/span> regardless of the booking method<\/i><\/b>, <\/b>to help<\/span> fund microgrants for wildfire survivors in L.A. County. 100% of funds go directly into the hands of those who need it most. From replacing lost essential items to supporting temporary housing and emergency expenses, travel dollars help restore dignity and stability for wildfire survivors in L.A. County.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Recent research underscores travelers\u2019 growing desire to make a difference: According to Booking.com\u2019s 2025 <\/span>Travel & Sustainability Report<\/span><\/i><\/a>, <\/span>73% of travelers want the money they spend to go back into the local community<\/b>, while <\/span>84% say sustainability influences their travel decisions<\/b>. Through Kind Traveler\u2019s Every Stay Gives Back program, these values translate into measurable action and transparent community impact.<\/span><\/p>\n

Impact You Can See: Travelers Can Track Their Positive Footprint<\/b><\/p>\n

Every dollar is measured, and guests can track the impact of every stay through traveler-friendly impact dashboards. These dashboards ensure transparency and foster connection and education around regenerative tourism, encouraging travelers to travel kindly with every trip they book. Hotel lobbies feature wood plaques with QR codes that link to Impact Dashboards, providing guests with a transparent and educational view of the positive impact of their stays.<\/span><\/p>\n
