SUSTAINABLE TRAVEL              

              Sustainable Travel?  Responsible Travel?  Eco-travel? Green Travel?
 
Our Take
It doesn't matter what you call it.  The bottom line is that tourism can help a destination preserve its natural and cultural gems while providing income and incentive to the people that live there. It's win-win.

Our Criteria
We choose hotels and tours that:
  • Are locally-owned or employ locals at all levels 
  • Protect their local environment from degradation, and work to enhance it
  • Support local environmental and cultural groups 
  • Reflect the local culture and allow for interaction 
  • Follow best practices
Any given lodge or tour may not meet all our criteria.  In those cases, we felt that the uniqueness outweighs the negatives. 
 
What We Do
  • Operate a virtual office (no need for a commute or maintenance of a separate facility)
  • Produce electronic documents (paperless)
  • Annually review our offerings for best practice compliance
  • Offer travelers a means to offset their 'carbon footprint'
