3 independent reviews for Punjab vacation, Mountains & Mystics

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and review following your travels with us! We passionately believe that businesses have a responsibility to take consistent action to minimise environmental impact, conservation efforts and contribute to limiting global warming to 1.5C in the next decade. Businesses need to be part of the solution, and that is our commitment. As part of our Carbon Management Program, (we measure our electricity, gas, paper waste, flight emissions; aim to reduce and be more resource efficient and then offset the rest). We offset the carbon emissions from our global business offices and the emission created on our trips. Through these offsets, significant monetary contributions are made on behalf of our business, suppliers, staff and travelers to internationally certified carbon abatement projects. We also aim to minimise the carbon emissions on our trips as much as we can by (not limited to) the following: - engaging locally owned and operated services, thus avoiding use of long, carbon-intensive supply chains - use local public transport wherever possible, and particularly minimise the use of flights within itineraries, and - include and encourage locally produced food and goods which reduces the energy consumed by production and transport of food and goods For some destinations and itineraries it can be more difficult to implement these, for example - some local suppliers might rely on an income stream from selling plastic water bottles, or public transport options may not be available to service the itinerary, making it quite a complex issue. It is difficulties like this that make our other efforts an important part of our approach. We have also recently launched ‘carbon labels’ for our trips, which reflect the carbon emissions produced per person per day. The aim of these is to educate our travelers about their impact, and encourage low-carbon options where possible. Thank you again for taking the time to leave your feedback and I hope this helps highlight how important environmentally responsible and sustainable travel is to us.
