Community
We have built strong links with local communities, craftspeople and artists who are maintaining our culture and traditions. We offer visitors an opportunity to meet them, thereby valuing their activities and thus helping towards their survival. After the trip in the craft villages – Adamwomase, Ahwia and Ntonso, Daboya travellers are encouraged to leave some money in the communities by eating delicious and nutritious local foods and buy local souvenirs.
Again, we employ local guides to explain the history and culture to travellers. For an indigenous culture that has stayed largely separated from the surrounding majority, tourism can present both advantages and problems. On the positive side are the unique cultural practices and arts that attract the curiosity of tourists and provide opportunities for tourism and economic development. On the negative side is the issue of how to control tourism so that those same cultural amenities are not destroyed and the people do not feel violated so we make sure that the locals are not left out by employing them as tour guides and caterers. We always use accommodation facilities which are locally owned.
Environment
Before any trip we give the code of conduct to travellers to know how to conduct themselves in order not to destroy the local culture, flora and fauna species. 'Do not take any flora, take only photographs' and ‘Do not litter but leave only your footprint policy’. We help to keep the environment clean as our guides are asked to explain and encourage this policy during the trip. We explain to them that in certain communities some animals especially in Boabeng Fiema where monkeys are considered as gods and are treated with respect so they should be very careful not to cause any harm to them.
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!
