how this holiday makes a difference
|
Our environmentally-friendly off-the-grid facility has gained international recognition for teaching and demonstrating ecological principles of design. In addition, our environmental ethics and no-trace camping practices leave the areas we travel through in the same or better condition than before we arrived. We even sort our waste so that plastics and paper are recycled, and food waste is composted upon return from our adventures.
Join us and we'll escort you into Algonquin Park in style. We maintain the lowest guide to guest ratio in the industry (usually 1:4), so you can be confident you are in the care of qualified, enthusiastic friendly faces who know Algonquin Park. We believe that our guides should be fairly compensated, and will share their experience, passion, knowledge and teaching skills to ensure each trip is a memorable one.  We make socially responsible purchasing decisions, support organic produce providers and freshly prepare gourmet meals. We contribute to the ongoing conservation of local natural areas, use sustainable environmentally friendly technologies and practices of operation and live closer to and in respectful harmony with the natural world. |
Tourism can be good and bad for destinations & local people. We carefully screen every holiday against our criteria for responsible travel. 'Look behind the brochure' to find how each holiday makes a difference (see left). We don't claim to be perfect - there is no global accreditation - but we've led the way since 2001 and screened 1000's of holidays. We invite every traveller to write a review about their experiences and responsible tourism. This valuable feedback is sent to the people who run the holidays. We keep a very close eye on it and take off holidays that don't live up to our standards. |
