How this holiday makes a difference
Environment
We do have a priority & positive role in preserving and protecting our cultural and natural resources which also meets the need for ecologically sensitive travel. We provide fresh water and food for the local garden birds and use natural planting to attract them.
Community
We believe that tourism should be about interacting with other cultures, not exploiting them. This could mean more working and travelling with local people on public buses rather than looking at them through the window of a private tour bus. We bring people together from different regions, states, countries, cultural heritage, social and political backgrounds.
The component of voluntary work also supports socio-economic aspects and women's issues on practical projects of direct benefit to local communities. We are actively involved with and support projects that are secular and have an education-related component to them apart from regular, environment, socio-economic aspects and women's issues. Such projects provide an inter-cultural learning experience and the real opportunity to explore a new country and a new culture in a deeper and more respectful way than as tourists.
The natural, healthy exchange of ideas and opinions does lead to a mutual understanding of colorful cultures in so short time. The experience will likely change how you see the world. You will interact with local community members, not only getting a chance to see their traditional culture but to understand it on a much deeper level.
