Responsible mission
As adventure travellers we relish and celebrate the diversity of the world. We also recognise our obligation to protect the environments that we explore. Our aim is to tread lightly, whilst contributing to maintain the world’s culture and nature, and most importantly to engage the help of all our customers to utilise the potential of tourism as a tool to aid sustainable development. We believe that responsible travellers are welcome in the places that they visit.
On this trip
Our tour benefits many local Cypriot people, from hoteliers and restaurateurs to our local agent, the group leader and drivers. The trip is based in just one hotel and much of the tour is covered on foot which reduces the overall carbon footprint of the trip. We also visit a farm in the small village of Ozankoy which helps to support a rural community.
Responsible code
Being Responsible is at the heart of everything our company does - full details of our code can be found on our website. The local supplier for this trip will promote our responsible travel code throughout your adventure. You will also receive specific information on this trip’s responsibility in your trip notes.
Helping to minimise negative impact
All of our customers are invited to offset their international flight emissions. Contributions go to the Blue Ventures Carbon Offset program, a non-profit organisation which provides solar stoves for subsistence communities in Madagascar, benefiting the people and protecting the environment. We also contribute £2 per person towards offsetting of your in-country travel. We fully offset all emissions from our staff travel and run an energy efficient office.
Giving something back
We have a foundation that collects the funds that you donate to us to support our projects. All our customers are invited to make a £1 per person contribution to the foundation at the time of booking. We will match every contribution that you make with our own £1. You as a customer choose where these funds are used from a shortlist of nominated projects – so it really is YOUR foundation.
Partnerships
As a company we support The Travel Foundation, a UK charity that has been established to promote responsible travel practises throughout the whole of the travel industry. We also work with a number of charity partners who work in the destinations that we visit; including Friends of Conservation and Born Free Foundation. We partner with many small grassroots projects throughout the destinations that we visit - they all share our responsible vision.
As the number one provider of family adventures in the UK, this company have been designing and running itineraries for active families with a sense of adventure since the mid 1990s. The premise is simple; small groups of between 3-5 families, fixed itineraries, family friendly activities and accommodation and group leaders with the knowledge and expertise to interact with and inspire every member of the family. Immerse yourselves in local cultures, try traditional foods, meet the local people and most of all, experience the world together. You don’t have to stop travelling just because you have kids, take them with you and give the entire family the holiday of a lifetime!
You can trust responsibletravel.com reviews because, unlike many other schemes, reviews can ONLY be written by people who we have verified have been on the holidays. In addition, we don't run these holidays ourselves - our only interest is giving you the best independent advice.
