Bodrum gulet cruise in Turkey
How this holiday makes a difference
Environment
We are an independent, fully licensed, UK based tour operator who dedicated to promoting responsible tourism in Turkey. We promote ethically and ecologically sound holiday packages and accommodation.
We work with environmental organisations, human rights groups and local community groups in order to promote sustainable tourism and ethical holidays in Turkey. We partner with mokugift as part of the UNEP Billion Tree Campaign, Climate Care and the World Land Trust. We also support The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds campaigning to secure a healthy environment for birds and wildlife.
We welcome the UK Government's initiative to establish a quality assurance scheme for carbon offsetting. The Quality Assurance Scheme (previously known as DEFRA's Code of Best Practice for Carbon Offsetting) was launched in February 2009. Our belief is that climate change will only be addressed if each and every one of us takes responsible steps to REDUCE our CO2 emissions as much as possible and offset the remaining unavoidable emissions.
We support Climate Care, who takes a small payment based on predicted CO2 emissions from your flight.
Climate Care works with several partners, among them universities and charities, to fund with your money projects in sustainable energy, energy efficiency and reforestation in Africa and all over the World. We recognise that this is a personal choice for each traveller.
Community
Our Gulet Tours give you the unique chance to meet people from all around the globe that you cannot experience anywhere else. Imagine, British, Germans, Australians, Turkish, Greeks, Americans end etc. sitting altogether at one table at a cosy environment. Our gulet tours are the best opportunity to experience that sincerity among the varied nationalities. And for our tours we only use suppliers who contribute local economy and use local labour. For all of our guiding activities we only work with local guides with proper national accreditation where demanded by law.
All of the meals will be served on board which are a part of tasty Turkish cuisine are local food which come from local farmers and local markets. It supports the local economy and creates more jobs for local people.
As well as contributing to the local economy, this practice ensures that our passengers learn about the region that they are visiting first hand from someone who knows the area(s) intimately and provides local employment. We support local human rights groups and local community groups in order to promote sustainable tourism and ethical holidays in Turkey.
We encourage our guests to use locally own services, eat at locally owned restaurants and use public transport where possible. It means their money directly benefits the local, and they will generally have a far more enriching experience.
