For us Responsible Travel is basically doing business well and travelling with a mind on how it affects the places we are going.
• We work to ensure people who work for Explore are treated fairly and paid a fair wage.
• We learn about and respect the customs and culture of the country we are visiting so that we do not offend local people.
• We ensure that local people benefit economically from tourism by employing them as leaders and guides, eating out in local restaurants and using family-run hotels where possible.
• We minimise our impact on the environment by travelling in small groups, offsetting our carbon emissions, reducing waste and supporting conservation projects.
Achievements and Awards
We’re not perfect but we’re pretty good. In recognition of this, we have won the following awards:
• 5 star responsible tourism rating - the highest achievable – from the Association of Independent Tour Operators
