How the minimum criteria of the responsible travel standard was met...
Economic responsibility
- In all our destinations we will work with small local destination companies or locally based people that contribute fully to the local economy and employ local guides.
- We aim to ensure that the local supplier, their employees and guides receive a fair wage for their activities measured by locally appropriate standards.
- Working with local people in designing itineraries and holidays we will aim to use small locally owned accommodation, equipment and food providers that employ local people.
Environmental responsibility
- Use recycled and environmentally friendly paper for our promotional publications and letter-head. Our brochure is produced with paper from FSC sourced timber.
- Provide travellers with Travellers Codes that encourage the reduction of water usage, systems for collecting, recycling or safe disposal of litter and relevant suggestions to minimise damage to the environment, wildlife and marine ecosystems.
- In each destination we will aim to work with or encourage local destination partners to work with appropriate local projects with direct or indirect environmental benefits.
- We will design holidays with a maximum group size of 12 to 15 people minimising both the social and environmental impact.
Social responsibility
- In all our destinations we work with smaller local suppliers or locally based people that employ local guides who understand and work with local communities to provide authentic experiences in a sensitive way.
- Working with local people in the design of our holidays we will only visit areas where local people are happy to be visited and do so in a way that supports understanding of the local community.
- In each destination we will inform travellers of the ways in which they can do more to benefit local social projects with direct or indirect benefits to the host community.
