Asia Local Tours are committed to sustainable and responsible tourism throughout Asia. All our trips are designed with the local people and the culture of the country in mind. We try and help to make a difference wherever we can, by supporting various charitable organisations and making the conscious effort to be as green as we can; such as running our vehicles on electrics whenever we can and we are also constantly on the lookout for new eco-tourism ideas.

We strongly believe in doing the right thing and making the right ethical company decisions wherever possible, from employing the right people, choosing the correct suppliers and working towards improving the environment around us, to help promote and support responsible tourism.

Responsible Travel is about preventing and/ or minimizing negative impacts on the environment, local community and economy of the destinations travelers are visiting. While travelers strive to ensure that their holiday will be stimulating, relaxing and exciting, travelers also strive so that the host destinations benefits from their travelling.

WHAT ASIA LOCAL TOURS DOES

1. Our Travel teams strives to be an active player in environmental protection, sustainability and community-based tourism development.
2. We recognize that the tourism industry impacts local communities and the environment, therefore, as a tour operator, we must manage the impacts we create in the way we operate our business.
3. We ensure our products / services and business operations are:

• Low impact on natural resources
• Respectful and observant of local customs
• Supportive for locals and local economies

HOW TRAVELERS CAN HELP
Here are some of the things you can do while you are traveling that we believe can positively benefit you, your fellow travelers, the environment and the culture of host communities you visit. (And thank you in advance for every time you do these!)

• Wearing / Snapping: Be sensitive to the local culture by wearing clothing that is accepted. Be aware of people’s sensitivity to being photographed; always ask first;
• Respecting different culture: Remember that you are a visitor and therefore be aware that your cultural values may be different from those of the locals. This may include different concepts of time, personal space, communication etc. which are not wrong or inferior, just different;
• Caring for the local living: Use local transportation, guides, inns, restaurants and markets to benefit the local economy;
• Conserving resources: Minimize your shower time so that water resources are used sparingly; Keep your use of towels and linen to a minimum; Turn off lights when not in room, turn off the TV when no one is watching it… Air-conditioning is a huge energy user, so – most importantly – do not use air-conditioning unless you need to;
• Respecting the responsible travel codes: follow environmental guidelines for limiting and improving tourist impact on the environment and local culture. General guidelines involve staying on trails, maintaining set distances away from wildlife, and not removing any objects, plants or animal products from nature…
