INVOLVEMENT IN THE LOCAL ECONOMY
Our teams, mostly made up of natives, know their country to the tip of their fingers and work in close proximity with the local populations. Our guides give us a daily quality feedback on the activities and excursions you are going to take part in. And we regularly inspect the hotels where you will sleep. All this logistics allows us to select the best providers and thus promote the economic growth of these structures. |
|
ENVIRONMENTAL-FRIENDLY CULTURE
Our agency works to reduce our carbon footprint and wants to educate travelers about environmental protection. We have to start by managing our own energy and waste: plastics reduction, selective sorting, saving of paper and electricity. Then we encourage travelers to take part by offering a recyclable aluminum bottle and filling station throughout their journey. Finally our responsibility is to train and inform our partners/service providers about the importance of taking care of their environment, including waste management zero plastic and promote eco-responsible initiatives. |

ON-SITE PARTNERSHIPS
We are partners in each country with inititaives that work for the well-being of the populations. In Laos, for example, we are the founding historical partner of an elephant sanctuary, to remove them from logging for a well-deserved retirement. In Cambodia, we partner with a children's hospital to provide the best care and well-being they deserve. When you visit these structures, by your mere presence, you will give them financial support that will allow a family to live. |
