Before you travel
Read up on local cultures and learn a few words of the local language - travelling with respect earns you respect. Remove all excess packaging from your luggage - waste disposal is difficult in remote places and developing countries.

Buy local products
Buy local, rather than imported and do not buy products made from endangered species, hard woods or ancient artefacts.

Show respect
Respect local cultures, traditions and holy places - if in doubt, ask advice.

Use water sparingly
Water is very precious in many countries and tourists tend to use far more than local people.

Take part in a local carnival
Why not participate in a local activity like a carnival or fete? This way you really get the chance to understand local cultures and traditions.
How to be a responsible traveller
We believe that responsible tourism promotes positive cultural and environmental ethics and practices. Understanding the potential harm that can come from promoting tourism through many of the delicate environments in which we operate is reflected on our ideology of 'leave no trace' tourism. Working with our ground operators, several who have won the prestigious AITO (Association of Independent Tour Operators) Responsible Tourism Award, we promote responsible, sustainable tourism in all areas we visit.
