How Holiday to Cuba makes a difference

A heady mixture of music, dance and revolution combine to make Cuba a vibrant Afro-Latin culture. This culture is best accessed through a local Cuban leader who can give an intimate and first hand portrayal of his/her country. By employing local leaders, staying in locally owned accommodation and using local transport we are doing our bit to ensure that the local economy and the local people benefit from our small group holidays in Cuba.

For many years Cuba was cut off from the outside world so as the country begins to enjoy the benefits tourism can bring it is crucial that operators reject rampant development and instead conduct tours in a sustainable fashion within the existing infrastructure.

This trip is focused on respecting and benefiting the local people and the environment of this country. On this trip you will be lead by an experienced local leader passionate about their country's history, heritage and natural beauty that will help you to get 'under the skin' of their country and see it through the eyes of a local. This trip stays at locally run accommodation; we eat at local restaurants and travel on local transport. This ensures the financial return to the local economy opens up training and employment opportunities - and allows for informal and meaningful interaction between our travellers and local people.

We are constantly seeking new and innovative ways of neutralising our impact on the environment. We will become the first Australian adventure tour operator to offer a voluntary carbon offsetting option on the land component of all its tours, as well as the accompanying flights. Our Community Trust provides funds for local community projects and initiatives that promote responsible and sustainable tourism development in the destinations in which we operate. First and foremost, but not exclusively, the Trust supports projects and initiatives that advance education and employment within the tourism and hospitality industry. The Trust operates on a not-for-profit basis, with every cent of funds donated by us, our staff and our travellers, going to the nominated projects.

The maximum group size on all of our adventures is 16 passengers – with exception of some African trips (24 max) and in the Polar Regions, where our ship carries a maximum of 110 passengers. Travelling in small groups ensures we make significantly less impact on the natural environment, as well as breaking down many of the communication barriers presented by a larger group.
