Helping local people
Responsible tourism to Mongolia encourages the participation of indigenous nomadic families, enabling them to continue to live as they have done traditionally for centuries by providing a sustainable and reliable income. As such this itinerary includes visits to nomadic families and accommodation in socially responsible camps which strive to employ local people and purchase goods from local farmers. In addition through our work with local guides and operators, we provide economic benefits directly to local people and businesses.
Accommodation
This itinerary includes accommodation at the Three Camel Lodge, one of a very small number of ecologically sustainable tourist camps in the Gobi region. As well as offering a high standard of service and accommodation the camp is acutely aware of the impact that its participation in the tourist industry has on the local environment and on local nomadic families who continue to use the area for farming. As such the camp places high emphasis on local community values and ecological sustainability, employing 90% of its staff from within the local community, purchasing food from local farmers and using wind and solar power where possible.
Our commitment to responsible tourism
Our organisation is passionate about all the countries which we operate in, therefore it is a natural progression that we help to protect each region and strive to maximise the benefits that tourism can bring. We support a variety of different projects in several countries using local guides and where possible, sourcing locally owned hotels and guesthouses in an effort to support the local economy.
The directors of this company went to university together and met up again when they were travelling. They started doing tours to Vietnam in 1996 and were so successful that they expanded to many other destinations. Their company now employs 170 well-travelled staff who can advise customers on how to put together the perfect itinerary. They share the same no-nonsense, honest approach and ensure anyone who travels makes the best use of their time and budget. The amount of research that goes into these trips means you get to see the slightly quirkier places and can travel at your own pace.

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!
