SUSTAINABLE TRAVEL
Travel is a luxury , to which we all aspire . But we recognise that there are mounting pressures to be aware of our individual carbon footprints . Whilst some might consider that this precludes travel by air , others will feel that , by travelling responsibly , they can still enjoy the enrichment of experiencing new countries and their cultures , but , at the same time , give something back to those communities visited .
As a travel company , you won ’ t be surprised that we think there is a middle way . There are airlines which use aircraft and fuel which minimise harmful emissions , but we are also happy to offer alternative means of travelling from A to B – for example , some trains or ships can provide a much more relaxing experience .
You may want to consider accommodation , which is locally owned and aims to source as many of the products they serve locally too , thus supporting local businesses and people ; and whilst some may not be 5 star luxury , we can guarantee that it will offer a personalised experience which will stand out . Look out for our logo to highlight hotels regarded for their sustainability practices .
Whilst planning activities at your holiday destination , there are often ways to experience local life without using motorised transport – for example , walking tours give a much more immersive experience into local life and a cycle tour can offer you the opportunity to get to places , which the coach can ’ t reach .
We recognise that everyone makes those choices daily and we ’ re more than happy to talk to you about destinations , accommodation and activities , which will enable you to travel smarter .
Big enough to depend on , small enough to care .
