The Impact
We wanted to create a way to guide travellers to responsible businesses while supporting projects that protect Lisbon’s eco-systems and provide help to people in need.
By using the Circular Pass, you'll support the local economy while helping to fund projects such as reforestation, marine conservation, food banks, mental health services and more.
Check out the projects we are funding and choose the one you want your purchase to support.
About us
behind the NGO
We are a group of passionate travellers - some born and raised in Lisbon, others who discovered its charms before calling it home. We've seen how tourism can shape the city, and have often been frustrated by the realisation that a significant proportion of tourism spending doesn't benefit local communities, resources or businesses.
Yet we know from experience that many of us are looking for ways to contribute. We created The Circular Shift with the aim of making tourism in Lisbon more equitable by giving travellers an easy way to give back to the local community.
