Responsible Travel
As the pioneers of responsible tourism, we've screened this (and every) vacation so that you can travel knowing we've worked to maximise the benefits of your vacation to local people and places, and minimise any negative impacts.

CARBON REDUCTION:We take responsible travel seriously, which is why we created our pioneering carbon scoring system – the first of its kind. This allows us to measure the environmental impact of every tailor-made vacation. By working closely with our suppliers through a detailed carbon-scoring survey, we gain clear insight into what’s working well and where we can make meaningful improvements. This data informs choices across transport, accommodation, and activities, helping us guide clients toward lower-impact options. It also drives innovation within our partner network, encouraging more sustainable practices throughout the travel industry.
ENVIRONMENT & WILDLIFE:
Sri Lanka’s natural beauty and cultural heritage are fragile and precious, and we are committed to helping you experience them responsibly. Throughout your journey, we focus on supporting local communities, respecting wildlife, and minimising environmental impact. From staying in eco-conscious hotels to choosing guided wildlife encounters that follow best-practice conservation standards, every step of this trip is designed to protect the island’s unique ecosystems.
Whether you’re exploring coral reefs in Kalpitiya, spotting elephants in the Cultural Triangle, or wandering historic towns like Jaffna, we encourage observing wildlife from a safe distance, reducing waste, and engaging with local culture in a respectful way. By traveling thoughtfully, you’ll help preserve Sri Lanka’s extraordinary landscapes, traditions, and biodiversity for generations to come, while enjoying a richer and more authentic experience.
During your trip, you will visit Wilpattu, Sri Lanka’s largest National Park which spans over 1,300 square kilometres. There are approximately 30 species of mammals in this protected area, including the Sri Lankan elephant, Sri Lankan leopard, the sloth bear, sambar deer and mongoose.

LOCAL ECONOMY:By staying in locally owned accommodations, dining at family-run restaurants, and engaging with regional guides and artisans, your visit directly contributes to the livelihoods of residents. This approach not only provides authentic experiences but also fosters sustainable economic growth in areas that benefit from mindful tourism. Supporting local businesses helps preserve traditional skills and crafts that might otherwise be lost. Over time, this creates a positive ripple effect, empowering communities and encouraging more responsible tourism practices.
EMPLOYMENT, INCLUSIVITY & DIVERSITY:
By engaging with local businesses and services, your trip positively contributes to the livelihood of the local communities. In Kalpitiya, you can take a boat ride, or snorkel or dive on Sri Lanka’s largest coral reef. In Wilpattu National Park, you have the assistance of a local expert guide for your safari drive and boat trip. In Jaffna city, you can soak up the Tamil culture, and browse independent shops, plus stay in ‘Fox Resorts Jaffna’, located in the village of Kokuvil, just outside the city. This interaction with local experts and communities not only enriches your experience but also helps sustain meaningful employment in the region. It encourages a more inclusive tourism model, where economic and cultural benefits are shared broadly among local residents.
