Intrepid is committed to a style of travel that is environmentally, culturally and socially responsible - we call this 'Responsible Travel'. For the past 20 years we've maintained a commitment to responsible and sustainable travel. We work with communities by establishing local businesses, we train and use local operators and we always ensure that our travellers really interact with the locals in their host communities. With your participation we aim to travel in a way that conserves the areas we visit and bring positive benefits to local communities. By travelling responsibly we're working to ensure that these incredible places, fascinating cultures and wonderful people are here to greet us in years to come. We're empowering the local communities and creating richer, real life experiences for travellers.

Our travel style

• Grass roots travel using local public transport where possible - minimises demand for special tourist vehicles and fuel.
• We choose small-scale locally owned accommodation and homestays where available and local restaurants and markets for dining, retaining revenue in local communities.
• Our group leaders facilitate communication of our values to travellers and local communities, educating them in sustainable tourism practices.
• We employ local guides to aid travellers' understanding of local culture and etiquette.
• Small groups allow travellers to experience cultures first hand, offering greater opportunity for cross- cultural understanding.
• We are committed to putting back into the communities and regions we visit by supporting many aid, development and conservation projects in these areas. Much of this support is through The Intrepid Foundation and travellers are invited to contribute.
