The west Algarve coastline was designated a Natural Park to protect the unique flora which includes a large number of endemic plants; by visiting the area using designated roads and tracks you are helping to support the work of the Park officials who are under constant threat from developers.
The holiday uses small locally owned accommodation and we as a company pay a fair price for rooms, we do not seek large discounts. Many of the local people from the Monchique area and west coast have to move to the larger resorts to find employment which is having a detrimental effect on local villages & families: by using local accommodation & restaurants you can help to provide jobs & bring much needed income to the community.
Cycling is the perfect way to see an area without damaging the environment & we actively encourage all our clients to be environmentally aware. To help clients get the most out of the holiday we provide all our clients with an information sheet which includes tips and general background on lifestyle and customs of the local people.
We actively encourage our clients to be environmentally aware of all their actions and act in a proper, responsible manner at all times. Information, tips and recommendations on the life and customs of the local people are given to all clients. As much as we can our office recycles waste and we use recycled products when ever possible.
We are aware that travel in any country has some effect on the area and with this in mind we strive to lessen the impact, promote local employment through use and at all times show a positive attitude towards the environment and encourage others to appreciate its importance.
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.
