Responsible tourism.
It’s basically doing business well and travelling with a mind to how it affects the places we are going.
To us it means that;
- We work to ensure people who work for Uniktour are treated fairly and paid a fair wage.
- We learn about and respect the customs and culture of the country we are visiting so that we do not offend local people.
- We ensure that local people benefit economically from tourism by employing them as leaders and guides, eating out in local restaurants and using family-run hotels where possible.
- We minimise our impact on the environment by travelling in small groups, offsetting our carbon emissions, reducing waste and supporting conservation projects
We’ve worked hard at these things to ensure we are welcomed in the places we all love to visit, meaning local people benefit and you get a better trip. It could be through some of our great community based tourism experiences, meeting local people or experiencing the pristine wilderness and leaving it untouched.
Climate Care
Uniktour has chosen Climate Care as its designated carbon offset partner after working with them for a number of years offsetting staff flights and offering a voluntary offsetting for customers. Our research has shown Climate Care to have the most robust verification processes for their projects which show demonstrable and significant carbon reductions. They rate very highly in independent reports on good practice and rated top in Clean Air Cool Planet's 'Consumer's Guide to Retail Carbon Offset Providers', Dec 2006
Customers making their own flight arrangements when joining an Explore tour are also encouraged to take responsibility for their CO2 emissions by carbon offsetting through Climate Care. Check your carbon emissions and calculate the offest cost using this handy carbon calculator.
