Sustainable Tourism and AWR

Posted on August 20, 2007 by Adventures Within Reach

The aim of sustainable tourism is to lessen the toll that travel takes on the environment and its local cultures. Left un-monitored, destinations visited will be damaged or destroyed at a catastrophic rate. Adventures Within Reach takes steps to promote sustainable tourism by using ethically trained, local guides, using sustainable lodging, and giving back to local communities. We also help travelers minimize their impact through carbon offsetting, volunteer work, and more.

It looks like a beautiful country!”

In spite of the Today Show’s “promo” extolling its unique beauty, we were still awed and inspired by the country, it’s mountains and valleys, and most of all, it’s people.
