The benefits you bring in taking this tour.
We strongly believe that what is not measured cannot be improved. We have thus decided to develop a system to measure the impact of our trips on three levels: (1) the natural environment, (2) the local culture, and (3) the local economy. We do not limit the impact measurement to CO2 emissions but we go much further to understand how the trips we design benefit the local communities not only on the economical level but on the cultural and environmental levels.
We influence and follow the evolution of their ecotourism practices. These ecotourism (or sustainable tourism) practices that we strongly foster and diffuse emphasize healthy outdoor activities and most importantly cultural activities that empower the local communities, that enable them to preserve their beautiful traditions and at the same time that help them progress and modernize. We strive to build long term and trust relationships with our local partners around the globe and we work hard to continually bring them new ideas that enable them to improve their ecotourism practices.
