We believe that many of the barriers that keep us from traveling can be removed, whether our hesitations are due to finances, unfamiliarity with another culture, fear of novelty, or even simply the lack of knowledge about a particular place. Travel is possible with Pomelo.

We recognize that the combined forces of modernization and the increasing popularity of travel pose considerable threats to the rhythm and way of life that is essential in many rural communities. At Pomelo, we believe in traveling in a way that not only minimizes the negative impacts that travel can have on these communities, but also celebrates and supports rural ways of life, through both advocacy and person-to-person human interaction.

We’re committed to offering quality service, with an emphasis on the humanity of everyone that we work with. In a world that’s fast-paced and centered around efficiency and automation, it’s difficult to retain consistent personal interactions. By connecting people with people, we seek to offer the world a human service.

More than just a way to score cheap airfare, we live by the notion that travel can —and should — be approached differently. It can be something that changes the way you think, live, and treat the people around you, well after the conclusion of a trip.

We know that change is a vital part of living. Travel gives each of us the opportunity to learn from others and make changes in our lifestyles, community, diet, work processes, and personal philosophy —to adapt deeply held beliefs. We work steadily to invite this kind of change into our lives, and the lives of our customers. As a company, we’re willing to change and make improvements on a daily basis.
