Ethical tourism is an approach to travel that prioritises the well-being of the environment, communities, and cultures. We are dedicated to providing tourism experiences that minimize impact on the world around us and leave a positive legacy for future generations.
CAN LUXURY TRAVEL AND POSITIVE IMPACT CO-EXIST?
We hear you – we provide luxury travel experiences! Isn’t that the opposite of ethical tourism? We don’t believe that! Travel is such a privilege regardless of your budget and with it comes the responsibility to preserve as much as what we see as possible and to have a positive impact on the places we visit.
It is about making informed choices, respecting local customs and traditions, supporting local businesses, and minimizing one’s impact on the environment. All of that can, and should, be done regardless of your budget. You don’t have to sacrifice luxury in order to do it.
We commit to honouring our responsible travel commitment and having a positive impact, and we support partners that preserve habitats and empower local communities.
OUR COMMITMENT
Our ethical travel commitment includes the following:
Environmental responsibility: We commit to reducing our carbon footprint by promoting eco-friendly practices, minimizing waste, and supporting conservation efforts. We also work with suppliers who share our values and prioritize sustainability.
Community engagement: We commit to supporting local communities by partnering with locally owned and operated businesses, promoting cultural exchange, and giving back to the communities we visit through responsible tourism initiatives.
Cultural preservation: We commit to respecting and preserving the cultural heritage of the destinations we visit by promoting responsible tourism practices that prioritize cultural exchange, education, and preservation.
Animal welfare: We commit to promoting animal welfare by supporting responsible tourism practices that do not exploit animals for entertainment or profit. We also work with suppliers who prioritize animal welfare and do not engage in activities such as elephant riding, dolphin shows, or other harmful practices.
By adhering to these principles, we strive to create truly sustainable travel experiences that benefit not only our clients but also the destinations we visit. We believe that ethical travel is not only the right thing to do but also the best way to create meaningful and unforgettable travel experiences for our clients.
