Romania tailormade tour, religion, arts & crafts

Planet

We are committed to playing our part through caring for the places and communities that we visit. We will continue to work with our suppliers to deliver a responsible product and quality performance.

We contribute 50p per customer to Conservation Carpathia - a Romanian charity that is improving tourism projects and practice around the world - aiming to deliver long term care for the environment and to reduce the climate impact of tourism. We also contribute 5 euros per customer to a community project in Romania.

We are aware of the need to safeguard some of the best environmental practise in Romania including the ancient practice of periodically moving sheepfolds in the mountains. Also we are aware of the threat to wildlife that too many visitors can bring so our guides advise travellers how to respect both fauna and flora.

The company has been instrumental in the formation of the ecological association for tourism in Australia, a founder who has pulled in other operators to promote a responsible approach.

People

We are committed to working for a better community for all, in particular in the areas visited by or customers. We are leaders in developing tourism in remote areas of Romania, bringing a source of income with a steady flow of responsible tourists. In particular we have been leaders in bringing a source of income through tourism to some of the more remote parts of Romania. It is important to balance the impact of visitors with the effect on local communities and we strive to do this in a responsible way.

Good relationships have been established with a range of local "suppliers" ranging from those providing accommodation to artisans making products with historical significance. Working with reponsibletravel.com we are trying to open up new areas of tourism in Romania by encouraging small groups, couples mainly, to visit some the more remote areas where the income they provide can make a real difference.
