Community
We travel in small groups of 13 people to minimise the effects that large groups have when visiting remote areas and small villages. It is easier to 'blend in' with a small group and it allows us to stay in smaller properties and eat in more local establishments - where a group of 40-50 would need to eat in more touristy places.
On this trip we'll experience the rich culture and history of the New England states through means of responsible tourism. We'll spend some nights in rustic cabins on campgrounds and prepare our meals over the barbecue grill. Other nights are spent in locally run hostels. We will sample authentic foods and get a chance to meet locals at family run restaurants and taverns. We visit smaller villages on our journey and learn about local communities such as the Amish people in Pennsylvania.
We have an expert Operations based in the USA so our team is fully aware of current affairs. We have found that local operations is a superior way to ensure the quality and safety of our travellers.
Each year we conduct extensive safety audits to ensure our properties comply with local regulations as well as our own safety requirements. We also conduct reviews of our itineraries to ensure they include as much local interaction opportunities as possible, where our travellers can engage with the locals and learn their way of life and the local cultures of the places we visit. These experiences often make our trips unique.
Environment
This trip is carbon offset so you can be sure that all carbon emissions generated from travelling on this trip, are offset by investments into sustainable projects around the world including a rice husk biomass project in Thailand as well as hydro electric projects in China and India.
The Niagara Falls are the natural highlight of this trip. The Niagara Power Project features interactive demonstrations, short videos and displays on energy, hydropower and local history.
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!
