We believe that tourism is dependent on
sustainability and responsible travel.
Responsible tourism is defined as: “Tourism that maximizes the benefits to local communities, minimizes negative social or environmental impacts, and helps local people conserve fragile cultures and habitats.”
International Adventure Guides commits to responsible travel with emphasis on the our four main tenets:
TO EMBRACE COMPLETE TRANSPARENCY INTO ALL IAG ADVENTURE TRIPS.
…meaning we’ll provide you with honest details on the impact from IAG trips, including informing you about areas where extra care must be taken.
TO MAXIMIZE ECONOMIC & SOCIAL BENEFIT TO THE COMMUNITIES LOCATED WITHIN ALL IAG TRAVEL DESINTATIONS.
…meaning we’ll put as much of our trip funds as we can into the local communities with all IAG destinations.
TO MINIMIZE & MITIGATE NEGATIVE SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS IN AREAS VISITED WITH A FOCUS ON PROTECTING FRAGILE CULTURAL & HABITAT AREAS.
…meaning that we adopt the 7 Principles of the Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics.
TO EDUCATE IAG TRAVELERS ON THE ESSENTIALS OF TRAVELING RESPONSIBLY.
…meaning we’ll share tips with you from the Center for Responsible Travel prior to our departure, so that you feel confident and empowered to explore sustainably.
