How this holiday makes a difference
Environment
The itinerary for this trip, and all subsequent information, is sent electronically in the form of pdf files, reducing the need for printing in most cases. Adopting a “carry in – carry out” policy, we actively engage in environmentally responsible practices to minimize tourist impact upon the local habitat. From biodegradable soaps to re-usable water containers, we provide clients with the best information and means to help them identify and implement effective ways to positively protect local nature and communities. It is a vital ethos that can be passed on and abided by all, long after the trip has ended.
Our tours are never more than 12 people to minimize any social and environmental impact.
Community
We passionately believe that Responsible Tourism can be of immense help to local communities; providing income, positive cultural exchanges and an incentive to protect the natural environment. For this cycling tour in Japan we have selected accommodation in small villages, comfortable Minshuku inns, Ryokans and hostels, to experience the Japanese art of hospitality and simultaneously benefiting locals.
All our meals will be at local restaurants to experience the variety of regional food in Japan as well as contributing to the local economy. We use a local tour operator and travel with a Japanese crew.
