Why Care Collective was created
Care Collective grew out of experiences where access to treatment after an accident depended on being able to prove private insurance or make an immediate payment. In regions with many international visitors, local people can still face major barriers when they need medical treatment, transport or practical support.
This contradiction should not simply be accepted. Tourism creates considerable economic value. Hospitals, hotels, transport services, restaurants, care providers and local businesses all benefit from international demand. Care Collective aims to create a transparent bridge so that part of this growth also improves access and opportunities for people living locally.
From the beginning, one principle was clear: social impact should come before profit. That is why Care Collective is being converted from a sole proprietorship into a non-profit company, with any surplus to be reinvested fully in its purpose, and no partner listing fee.
