About Us
What is
positive tourism?
How you can impact the world.
Community Development
Our partners place emphasis on community development, being conscious of the social, cultural and economic effects that their business and its visitors have on the local inhabitants. Local culture, traditions and values are respected and there is a commitment to supporting and strengthening the local community.
Sustainable Business Practices
Our partners minimise their environmental impacts and maximise their self-sufficiency. This includes taking positive steps in building material selection, energy choices, waste management and water usage.
Environmental Stewardship
Our partners offer activities and experiences to visitors that allow them to discover and appreciate the beauty of the natural environment and wildlife. This can also include encouraging visitors to get involved in local volunteer preservation or conservation projects, either physically or financially.
Our Promise
While we don’t profess to be activists, we do care deeply about the communities and environment that tourism affects. We promise to hold our partners to account and to make sure they take active strides towards to achieving Positive Tourism. We know that travelling will always leave a footprint, but we promise to give you the best choices to minimise your impact while maximising your experience.
Our Values
Sustainability
We place great value on ethical and environmental practices. We ensure that our and our suppliers’ business practices protect the environment and preserve the earth’s natural beauty, both for today and future generations.
Flexibility
Circumstances in travel are constantly changing and we are flexible in our policies and mindset. We can quickly manoeuvre through any obstacle and find flexible solutions for our clients.
Reliability
We are there for our clients every step of the way, no matter how or when. We deliver our promises consistently and maintain our standards every day. We use only reliable suppliers who meet our values.
Adventure
Adventure pushes us to go further, it is our ability to think big and an opportunity to embrace a challenge. Adventure is shared, we are there to support our clients in their adventures – whatever they are!
Family
Family is the heart of The Conscious Travel Shop and gives us perspective and appreciation. We help create memories, realise dreams, share moments, and facilitate togetherness. We are stronger together, we are respectful, kind, and generous.
