About Responsible Tourism
TIES (the International Ecotourism Society) defines ecotourism as "responsible travel to natural areas that conserves the environment and improves the well-being of local people".
We seek out travel suppliers that follow these TIES guidelines:
- Minimize impact by minimizing water and atmospheric pollution
- Build environmental and cultural awareness and respect
- Provide positive experiences for both visitors and hosts
- Provide direct financial benefits for conservation
- Provide financial benefits and empowerment for local people
- Raise sensitivity to host countries' political, environmental, and social climate
- Support international human rights and labor agreements
- Where possible, use locally owned and run services and businesses
TRAVELBOECKER ADVENTURES supports local communities arranging visits to villages and schools en route, and we can help get you involved in community work projects.
