What is responsible travel?

To us, responsible travel means acknowledging that travel isn't always a great option for the planet and its people but that, with more thoughtful decision-making, we can reduce the negatives and leave more of a positive impact.

We want to champion authentic travel experiences. Immersing ourselves in local cultures is our passion and one we share with our customers

What is the Green Leaf symbol?

Your Travel Counsellor can advise on ways to make a positive impact through your travels. They’ll suggest ‘Green Leaf’ hotels - those that have been recognised for their sustainable initiatives - alongside excursions using local companies and guides and recommend local treats to look out for in your destinations.

Each has been certified by a sustainability assessor using criteria created by the Global Sustainable Tourism Council. For a full list of standards, please click here.
