What is Responsible Travel?

Responsible Travel is about trying to ensure that travel to destinations is a positive experience for all - people, place and the environment. It stretches from the simple things like dressing appropriately in parts of the world where showing a shoulder is disrespectful, to the more complicated issue of making sure that your money stays in the local community. We all know that the economic gain of tourism can be vital for a country, but this should never be at the expense of a country's culture or environment.

Our role

Since Imaginative Traveller was created we have held Responsible Travel practices at the very core of our operations.Our tour leaders are also fully aware of our policies and will be on hand to offer advice throughout the tour such as begging, religion, photography, toilet paper and water usage..

Your role

Ultimately our policies mean nothing without our travellers' participation. With the new rising interest in Responsible Travel we are seeing more and more travellers take an interest in the issues of travelling responsibly, and we hope this is only the start of things to come.We are extremely grateful to all who have helped us. We simply couldn't do it without you!
