Travel impacts the planet in both positive and negative ways—environmentally, economically, and socially. That’s why sustainable tourism is a priority. Upon arrival, travelers receive a simple guide to make their stay more responsible and eco-friendly.

The focus is on sustainable tourism by promoting off-the-beaten-path itineraries, supporting local economies, and engaging with local communities. As advocates of slow tourism, partnerships with local associations encourage meaningful interactions.

A collaboration with Solidarité Climatique - GERES helps offset the carbon footprint of staff travel and domestic flights. While not mandatory, 98% of travelers choose to contribute to this initiative.

Travelers are also connected with impactful local associations, such as:

Peduli Alam (waste collection in Amed, Bali)

Ocean Gardener (coral reef restoration in Candi Dasa, Bali)

Kalaweit (gibbon conservation in Borneo and Sumatra)

Refill My Bottle (mobile app for water refill stations)

Déroutes et Détours (educational support in Wanagiri, Bali)

Anak (education and healthcare for underprivileged children in Bali)

Mitra Bali (fair trade support for artisans)

Beyond responsible tourism, contributing to sustainable development in Indonesia is a key commitment. A travel network valuing authenticity, simplicity, and connection supports these efforts.

Tourism’s negative impact is reduced by encouraging travelers to explore less-visited areas, immerse in local cultures, and minimize unnecessary travel. Rather than long commutes, multi-stop itineraries are recommended. For instance, staying in Sanur while frequently traveling to Amed or Munduk leads to excessive fuel consumption—something best avoided.

Walking and cycling tours are promoted, reducing car use and fostering deeper connections with locals. A slow tourism approach allows travelers to absorb their surroundings, interact with communities, and embrace local lifestyles. Accommodations prioritize small charming lodges and homestays, far from mass tourism hubs.

Each traveler receives a recycled-paper booklet with practical eco-tips: avoiding plastic bags and straws, refilling water bottles, using rechargeable batteries, taking short showers, limiting laundry and air conditioning, and eating seasonal local foods.

Ethical commitments extend to business practices. Fair treatment of all partners—guides, advisors, and drivers—is ensured, offering social benefits beyond industry standards. Guide training includes environmental awareness, safety, and first aid.

Additionally, collaborations with Acteurs du Tourisme Durable and Voyageons Autrement, both dedicated to responsible travel, help make travel a force for good—preserving the environment, uplifting communities, and creating meaningful experiences for all.
