Smaller Earth announces investment and strategic partnership with The Dragon Trip

Smaller Earth Company and The Dragon Trip Group (which includes The Learning Adventure, The Dragon Trip and The Coyote Trip) are pleased to announce a strategic partnership, marking a significant milestone in their shared commitment to fostering cultural exchange and educational travel.

Smaller Earth Company, a leader in providing life-changing cultural exchange experiences, is proud to invest in The Dragon Trip Group, a leader in organising educational trips and backpacker tours across Asia, Europe and America. 

As part of the strategic partnership, Smaller Earth Company will receive a minority shareholding and the investment will support The Dragon Trip Group with the resources to accelerate its growth and take advantage of development opportunities across the globe.
