Carpathian Mountains conservation & culture holiday

As a part of our continued commitment to responsible tourism, we operate this trip in a way that aims to reduce impact and to give as much back as possible to the local community.

Our trip is carried out in close co-operation with the National Park Administration and local people from the communities of Zarnesti and Magura. On the day trips and walks the money goes straight to the local community. Horse and cart used for local travel. We work with a local operator and we use operator owned and managed accommodation on this trip. As local staff are employed and locally produced and sourced goods are bought for the accommodation we believe this is benefiting the wider community. The leaders will give a briefing on Responsible Tourism issues to help you understand how you can help reduce you impact and maximise the benefits to the local community The group size is limited to 15 to reduce cultural and environmental impacts

The local Community Development Fund initiates local projects with the aim to pass the benefits of a developing tourist industry to the local population, giving them an incentive to preserve the wilderness and promote sustainable economic activity. We have at our offices worked to reduce our carbon footprint through a reduction of energy use and energy conservation measures. We also actively try to reduce the waste produced by having active reduction and recycling policies in place. We run annual staff workshops on Responsible Tourism. Global warming is a reality and to help you make a difference by reducing the carbon dioxide that is produced when you travel we offer a chance to carbon balance your flights. We encourage all our clients to do this and do so for all our staff travel. Go on do your bit!
