A Good Place
'A Good Place' leads photographic tours to the Tanjung Puting national park, Borneo. The trips are aimed at anyone that would like to develop their photography skills using a mixture of tutorials and one-on-one advice. As well as over 4000 orangutans this bio-diversity hotspot is home to 30 other mammal species, 260 types of birds and 17 different reptiles. £250 per person is donated directly to the orangutan foundation to help them continue their work in protecting this area. We also run photography holidays at a lovely farmhouse in Andalucia, Spain.

How the minimum criteria of the responsible travel standard was met...
Economic responsibility
- We only make use of local suppliers and services. These include locally owned and run accommodation and food from local produce.
- £250 per person from the Orangutan photography holiday is donated directly to the Orangutan Foundation to help them conserve the Tanjung Puting national park.
- A park entry fee is paid for each visitor which directly contributes to the running of this national park.
Environmental responsibility
- For distribution of tour information and pre and post booking we only use the internet and email.
- The accommodation we use in the Tanjung Puting national park has an emphasis on environmental protection through education of both guests and staff.
- Each tour group is limited to just 6 people to minimize the impact on the local eco system.
Social responsibility
- We will only introduce our clients to areas where the community welcomes them.
- The accommodation used is also locally owned to ensure that monies filter down to the local community.
- We will provide accurate pre-trip information on the social and political situation in the destination.
