Keep it real. Keep the value local.

• Work with local guides, drivers, stays and activities where they fit the journey.
• Pay fairly for local products and avoid bargaining that removes a reasonable livelihood.
• Choose authentic experiences without staging or pressuring communities for entertainment.

Dress and behave appropriately at homes, villages, religious places and memorial sites. Follow your guide when local customs are unfamiliar.

Ask before photographing people, especially children or inside homes. A friendly interaction matters more than collecting an image.

• Carry a refillable bottle where safe refill options are available.
• Keep waste with you until it can be disposed of responsibly and avoid unnecessary single-use items.
• Stay on agreed paths, protect water sources and never remove natural or cultural objects.
• Use energy, water and towels thoughtfully at accommodation.

Do not buy products made from threatened wildlife, feed wild animals or support attractions that rely on harmful handling. Tell the team if an activity raises a welfare concern.

Travel with curiosity, patience and respect. Listen to local guidance, keep group noise considerate and raise concerns constructively so the team can respond.
