ABOUT | vision
The world is not such a lonely planet anymore but the very resources we promote through tourism are in danger of degradation. Visiting a yurt in eastern Tibet, trekking to a remote village in Timbuktu in Mali, kayaking the seas of the Caribbean and South Pacific- they are all amazing and create a sense of awe for the environment and different cultures.
When a community welcomes you with warm smiles, you sample local cuisine, see an ancient historic site - you will not be the only one to do so - but you can ensure it is preserved and protected for future generations.
When you see a lagoon floating with garbage or a once beautiful landscape
paved with concrete you also realize that if principles of sustainable
tourism are not put into action, then each one of these destinations will
lose their appeal, environmental beauty and ultimately, their profitability.
In order to develop a sustainable tourism and travel
industry,
some key areas to consider include:
- sound financial and business planning environmental management
- sensitivity to cultural and social dynamics
- efficient management, training and customer service
- consideration and inclusion of all stakeholders
- long term vision and good joined-up governance
- marketing and communications programs to showcase the positive elements
Our experiences, education in tourism and work
experience have led us to believe passionately in the principles of sustainable
tourism. We have experience in both practical and theoretical implications
of tourism and all facets of tourism development and management. For consulting assistance
