Our company adheres to an ethic of environmental care which strives to ensure that our operations do not result in unsustainable use of natural resources, emission of environmental pollutants, wastage of materials, or lead to the destruction of the social fabric of local communities.
The company employs only local staff in the region and uses local resources such as guides, boatmen and cooks (using mostly locally-produced food), and accommodation is only in locally-owned premises.
We also continuously engage in a number of activities to improve local social and environmental conditions in the Lower Danube region.
Recent examples include:
- Helping an NGO to win a grant from the Global Environment Facility for training handicapped people to do craftwork for sale to visitors (and now selling the products in our souvenir shop).
- Assisting a local authority to obtain funding from the European Union for the development of a health clinic.
- Helping to develop a Green Tourism policy for the region.
- Providing free office space for local NGOs in company premises.
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!
