How the minimum criteria of the responsible travel standard was met...
Economic responsibility
- Direct corporate contributions:. Midnight Sun Travel supports the following environmental charities in Canada: The Land Conservancy, the Alpine Club of Canada and the BC Wilderness Tourism Association.
Environmental responsibility
- We discourage plastic water bottles and encourage our guests to bring their own travel mugs and drink from a central water container.
- Our office staff are provided with a secure place to store their bicycles and encouraged to car pool.
- Midnight Sun Travel’s pre-departure information is tailored to the specific destinations we travel to. Each document contains information on travelling responsibly and social and environmental issues in the particular area.
Social responsibility
- Our small group adventures utilize local outfitters, stay in small scale, locally owned accommodation and frequent local shops for meals, supplies and crafts.
- These practices facilitate a high degree of contact with locals and ensure that the economic development our business brings goes directly to local businesses and communities.
- We are always cognizant of local festivals and events and visit social and environmental projects, including First Nations attractions and accommodation in the Rocky Mountains, on Vancouver Island, and in the Arctic.
