How G Adventures aims to keep staffers thinking creatively

As a dedicated world traveller—154 countries and counting—Bruce Poon Tip founded G Adventures out of his desire to share authentic travel experiences with other explorers. As the firm celebrates its 25th anniversary this month, it’s become a global leader in its space, with more than 2,000 employees selling and operating tours, safaris and expeditions around the world. The company also supports sustainable tourism and recently launched five community projects in Latin America to help distribute wealth.

The 101-colour couch seen here is outside Poon Tip’s office. It’s his go-to place for reading or work that requires concentration. He made space for the couch, which has a different fabric on every cushion, by removing all the other furniture from the room.
