Responsible Tourism

There are many names such as Sustainable Tourism, Eco Tourism, Green Tourism, Responsible Travel, Educational Tourism, Gap travel etc covering the many aspects of caring travel which we put under this heading.

 

Simply put, Responsible Tourism is tourism ‘that creates better places for people to live in, and better places to visit'.

Our aim is to feature on this site tours from reputable companies who clearly state their "responsible tourism" intentions. These tours should generate greater economic benefits for local people and enhance the well being of local communities. This together with a greater understanding of local cultural, social and environmental issues, will encourage respect between tourists and hosts, and provide a more enjoyable and beneficial experiences for all concerned.
