Greener Tourism
If uncontrolled, the negative impacts of tourism could gradually destroy the environmental resources on which it depends.
We do our best to minimise the harmful effects of littering, soil erosion, transport pollution, discharges into the sea, natural habitat loss, increased pressure on endangered species, a strain on water resources and deforestation.
We do the following to make our trips more environmentally friendly.
