Indonesia holiday, Isle of the Gods

Planet

During our trip, our group leader and local guides take active steps to ensure our groups behave in an environmentally responsible manner, such as sticking to established trails, not leaving anything behind and not removing any plants in rural areas. They are also always eager to share information about their country and culture, and help you break down barriers in your interactions with local people.

We take time out to see some local songket weavers in Sideman and travel by horsedrawn carts to visit some small handicraft villages near Tetebatu.

As a company we aim to contribute to the environmental preservation of the destinations we visit and to reduce any negative impacts our operations may have. This translates to actions such as using local transport where safe to do so in order to reduce emissions, observing all national and marine park visitor rules and operating a ‘take in, take back out’ waste management system, to name but a few examples. Through our inhouse foundation we also invest money into environmental initiatives that benefit the planet, including restoring kelp forests to help reverse the effects of global warming and protecting endangered species such as sea turtles and elephants.

Just by visiting Indonesia you are making a huge difference to so many people. The tourism industry has suffered significantly in recent years and any interest from travellers provides a welcome boost to the local economy.
