We have been strong proponents of Responsible Tourism since our inception. We do the due diligence on our suppliers to ensure, as best we can, that their code of practices meets the criteria of Responsible Tourism. For our clients, we promote our belief that responsible travelers explore the world in all its facets with an open mind and that they learn about other cultures and people, offering their hand in friendship while respecting and celebrating diversity. But the concept of Responsible Tourism is both complex and controversial. We invite our clients to research for themselves what responsible tourism means and how they, as the traveler, can incorporate, in their travels, a code of practices that make positive differences and limits negative impacts.
