Responsible Travel

We state “Responsible Travel” in the following points

Environmental Responsibility

• All places visited are to be left as we found . No piece of paper is to be left behind. For instance, our local staff in the Red Sea cooperates with the government and Hepca annually to clean the beachs and sea used bytourists.
• All of our modern air-conditioned vehicles are provided with baskets for rubbish in addition to environmentally friendly exhausts systems.
• Local guides and tour managers are not allowed to smoke during work time.
• Department managers meet weekly to ensure that all operations have minimal impact on the environment. We emphasize reducing in noise pollution by ordering tour drivers to refrain for using their car horns.
