We are a social enterprise, created from the outset with the aim of providing local people with much-needed employment, a sense of community and opportunities for development. All of our profits are reinvested into our destinations in ways that helps people to help themselves - we have founded and manage our own plastic bag recycling project, enable the quality education of children and young adults, as well as supporting local NGOs in a range of different fields.
We believe that truly responsible travel should benefit both the client and the destination in equal measures. The client gains an insight into other countries and cultures, learning a little bit about themselves in the process. The destination receives economic benefit and opportunities for self-development - but never at the sacrifice of their culture or integrity.
In order to achieve these aims we operate two policies alongside each other: the first to minimise what we take, the second to maximise what we give back. Self-administration of projects and funds ensures that 100% of our support goes directly to the people who need it.
As a social enterprise, our tour leaders are all local people who have been personally chosen and trained by us, and have been able to realise their potential and work towards a better future for themselves and their families. Encouraged to have an input on how the company operates and develops, our team brings constructive criticism, fresh ideas and a deeper level of interaction with our clients.
This journey visits one of the lake's floating villages with one of our local guides who live in the area and knows the people well. You will stay in a homestay and eat meals in the village, providing income to the local community. You have the opportunity to meet some of the NGOs working in the area to give you a positive appreciation of how tourism, when properly managed, can make a contribution to the well-being of local people.
We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same holiday can have different views!
