Responsible Travel
As the pioneers of responsible tourism, we've screened this (and every) vacation so that you can travel knowing it will help support the places and people that you visit, and the planet. Read how below.
Planet
Throughout the trip we have included a number of home-stays and Eco lodges to ensure our footprint is as light as possible. Home-stays allow our clients to immerse themselves in local practices and gain a better understanding on the impacts of the modern world in these traditional homes. The Eco lodges recycle almost all their waste, boats are run on recharged batteries from clean hydro power and day trips are based locally to avoid unnecessary travel.This itinerary takes in Ba Be National Park and Phong Nha Ke Bang National Park. Both offer stunning scenery and are a sanctuary to thousands of flora & fauna. We work closely with local travel partners in both of these national parks. The local guides know the region well and are able to offer in-depth information on the national park, the wildlife and local communities; as well as first-hand knowledge on the challenges faced in terms of preservation of their local environment.
People
We are of the staunch opinion that minorities aren’t tourist attractions. All our vacations that take place in and around minority communities are set up with the locals’ best interests at heart and we work with partners who do everything possible to ensure that the entire community benefits from our visits. This unusual Vietnamese trip visits a number of small villages where tourism is only starting to impact communities and we want to ensure this is a positive experience, either in the form of overnighting in a homestay, purchasing produce from the local market or utilising local guides and transportation.We actively choose local guides and drivers, and work only with local travel partners. We insist that any travel partners we work with adhere to our responsible travel policies, and ideally put responsible tourism at the heart of everything they do. We work collaboratively with them to ensure an ongoing exchange of information, so we can all continue to improve our work around responsible tourism.
