Responsible Travel
As the pioneers of responsible tourism, we've screened this (and every) holiday so that you can travel knowing we've worked to maximise the benefits of your holiday to local people and places, and minimise any negative impacts.
Planet
Focusing on the more remote areas of Bali allows travelers to use overland journeys rather than flights, cutting down on their carbon footprint. The most popular areas of Bali very much feel the weight of tourism, so branching out into the Eastern part of the island visiting De Klumpu and Candidasa allow travelers to avoid putting more strain on better known destinations.The eco lodge that guests will stay in is especially committed to sustainability. Energy saving light bulbs are used all over the property, and staff are encouraged to save electricity in their day to day work. Rooms are not air conditioned to cut down on energy usage. Recycled water is used for watering plants on the property, and reusable bottles are provided on the property for guests to reduce the use of plastic water bottles. Guests are encouraged to re-use their towels and linens, and biodegradable cleaning products are used to minimize the impact to the local environment.
People
Throughout the trip we use local guides and drivers to encourage a connection with the culture and people of Bali and Indonesia as a whole. The food tour in Candidasa has been created with a local woman to encourage development of the tourism infrastructure in the area and improve training the people of eastern Bali within the hospitality industry. Throughout the trip local guides are used, and are paid a fair wage and given continuous feedback and to continue improving.Spending time in an authentic Balinese village connects guests to the community and encourages responsible travel, along with the cultural and responsible guest guidelines given before departure.
De Klumpu eco resort hosts guest workshops to introduce them to the local culture and sources food locally to support the community. There are also classes for local children who would like to learn traditional Balinese dance and musical instruments. The vast majority of staff are local people who have been trained in hospitality and are given free classes in English and French.
