Responsible Travel
As the pioneers of responsible tourism, we've screened this (and every) holiday so that you can travel knowing we've worked to maximise the benefits of your holiday to local people and places, and minimise any negative impacts.
Planet
CARBON REDUCTIONAt the heart of our journeys lies a deep commitment to protecting our planet. We prioritize eco-friendly travel by implementing sustainable tourism practices that reduce our environmental impact. For instance, we select accommodations that adopt green initiatives such as the JA The Resort in Jebel Ali, which is certified by Green Globe. This hotel uses solar energy, features water-saving fixtures, and operates a comprehensive recycling program—demonstrating a true commitment to sustainability.
Vegetarian and vegan food is available.
ENVIRONMENT AND WILDLIFE
We also partner with eco-conscious businesses and educational initiatives that are featured in our itineraries. One example is our collaboration with Platinum Heritage Desert Safaris, an award-winning company that uses solar-powered camps and supports wildlife conservation in the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve. Additionally, we work with The Sheikh Mohammed Centre for Cultural Understanding, an educational initiative that promotes Emirati culture and cross-cultural dialogue through interactive programs, fostering deeper awareness and appreciation of local traditions.
People
LOCAL ECONOMYPeople are at the heart of every journey we create. We believe in responsible tourism that uplifts local communities, preserves cultural traditions, and fosters meaningful connections between travelers and residents. By supporting locally owned businesses, artisans, and family-run restaurants, we ensure that tourism directly benefits the people who make each destination unique. Shopping at traditional souks, dining at authentic eateries, and engaging with local craftspeople contribute to sustaining livelihoods and preserving heritage.
Our itineraries encourage authentic cultural exchanges, where travelers can immerse themselves in the history and traditions of each place. Whether it’s exploring UNESCO-listed sites, visiting historic neighborhoods, or participating in local customs, we ensure that these experiences promote mutual respect and understanding.
EMPLOYMENT, INCLUSIVITY AND DIVERSITY
Moreover, inclusivity and diversity are essential to our operations. Over 70% of the staff involved in this trip are UAE-based locals or long-term residents, ensuring the benefits of tourism flow back into the community. Our team reflects a wide spectrum of backgrounds, promoting fair employment and cultural exchange.
We are also committed to ethical tourism practices, fair wages, and inclusivity, ensuring that travel has a positive impact on every community. Tourism has the power to bring people together, and through responsible choices, we make every journey an opportunity to uplift, support, and celebrate diverse cultures.
