The company’s main contact (Michal Pohancenik) has travelled the world extensively and even lived abroad for some time in the past. Through his travels, he has been associated with tourism for some years. Additionally, he has had help from a good Australian friend (Phil Le Mottee) that has lived and worked in Slovakia for several years and has now decided to stay there permanently and open his own language school because he loves Slovakia. Phil will also assist Michal as a tour guide on occasions.

How the minimum criteria of the responsible travel standard was met...

Economic responsibility

As a small tour operator, we cooperate with the local companies and suppliers to provide services for our clients, such as activities, accommodation, shopping and meals. We also offer opportunities to visit local heritage sites, local historical buildings and national parks and where possible we take part in local shows and events. By incoming we support the local companies to help them to survive and live a better life in a country that is not so economically strong.

Environmental responsibility

Our tours have been designed to operate in a way that minimises our impact on the environment that we visit and to maximise the benefit that our clients can have on the host community. We focus our guests attention on local efforts to preserve flora and fauna. We will walk on well-marked paths, all rubbish will be carried out of the mountains and disposed of sensibly. Wherever possible, we will encourage the practice of recycling and use recycled material, for example our advertising brochures and stationery etc. are printed on 100% recycled paper.

Social responsibility

We encourage guests to explore the local culture, flora and fauna. We hire equipment from local shops, use local guides and encourage our guests to go to local restaurants, employ local people wherever possible. Therefore our clients get to meet the local people and gain fantastic experience from them, and moreover it supports the local economy. We have a large variety of local attractions and events, not just the obvious ones but also those which are less known and marketed and in which our clients can participate.
