Croatia coast and national parks activity vacation

CARBON REDUCTION

For all of the activities included in the program the guides take every measure to minimize the impact on the local environment. When airport and activity transfers are required they will ensure it is group collection and not individual thereby minimizing the environmental impact of multiply journeys. If only a small number of clients do need to be transferred the suppliers will use the smallest vehicle required to suit the group number to reduce carbon emissions.

ENVIRONMENT & WILDLIFE

On all hiking activities the guides will iterate the impact that increased footpath traffic has on the environment. They operate a strict ‘Leave No Trace’ policy and will collect all waste left over from picnic lunches and snacks to ensure it is disposed of correctly. They will also collect litter, should they find it, left on the trail by the less well informed and actively encourage clients to do the same.

The experienced local guides will advise and teach the guests how to observe and photograph local wildlife without impacting on its behavior or natural habitat. It is always recommended that guests carry reusable water carriers rather than plastic bottles during day activities.

LOCAL ECONOMY

Hotel Medena hosted the first “blue-green” fair which offers shoppers a range of healthy food, eco products and medicinal herbs. The fair promotes green entrepreneurship and an opportunity for local suppliers to advertise and sell their products.

Lunch and evening meals are deliberately not included in this trip to encourage guests to enjoy sampling the Dalmatian cuisine and support the local economy. The itinerary also takes visitors to small towns such as Skradin and Primosten where they can buy souvenirs.

EMPLOYMENT, INCLUSIVITY AND DIVERSITY

We are passionate about the places we visit and are committed to designing and operating our vacations in such a way to ensure they maximize the positive effects of tourism on the local economies, cultures and the environment whilst minimizing any negative impacts. There are a number of ways we work to achieve this. By participating in any one of our trips you will bring work and income to the people who are still recovering from the war torn years as this was an area severely affected by war.
