CARBON REDUCTION

LOCAL-SOURCED FOOD: In our 21-day journey, travelers will encounter various cultures and ethnic dishes. A key feature of this tour is its focus on food procured from local sources. For instance, meals in the Persian Gulf islands predominantly come from marine sources, while in northern Iran, dishes emphasize fresh local vegetables.

VEGETARIAN & VEGAN FOOD: The 21-day tour provides diverse dining opportunities with a strong emphasis on vegetarian options tailored for varied tastes. Many establishments also offer vegan choices, ensuring travelers can opt for plant-based dishes. This initiative not only accommodates diverse dietary preferences but also supports eco-friendly travel by reducing the overall carbon impact.

ENVIRONMENT AND WILDLIFE

WASTE REDUCTION: The affordability of plastic in Iran has led to its excessive use. To combat this, our tours stress environmental responsibility. We advocate for the use of reusable bags, decreasing the demand for single-use plastics. Moreover, to counteract potential food waste resulting from Iran's ample meal servings, we guide tourists on typical serving sizes, encouraging responsible ordering and suggesting packaging leftovers, that might serve someone else.

STREET ANIMALS: In locations like Iran, where street cats are prevalent, feeding them can inadvertently upset the ecological balance, leading to issues like overpopulation. Recognizing this, we educate our tourists about responsible interactions with these animals, emphasizing sustainable and eco-aware travel behaviors.
