Responsible Travel
Travelling responsibly is all about making good choices.
It's about ensuring you have an incredible trip while also having a positive impact on the local environment, community and economy you're travelling in.
How can you be a Responsible Traveller?
- Choose to travel with a responsible travel company like us! We've already offset the main carbon emissions of your trip, so your footprint is already lighter.
- Bring a refillable water bottle and some water purification tablets (or a Steripen) to cut down on plastic bottle waste.

- Only go to venues that respect animals by allowing them to live normally in their natural environment. Steer clear of venues that use animals for entertainment or abnormal activities and/or keep animals in poor and unnatural conditions.
- Eat at local restaurants, buy from regional artists and support social enterprises so you can contribute directly to locals and their economy.

- Learn a few words of the local language and engage with the people around you.
- Carry a cloth or re-usable bag so you can avoid plastic bags.
