Responsible Travel
As the pioneers of responsible tourism, we've screened this (and every) vacation so that you can travel knowing it will help support the places and people that you visit, and the planet. Read how below.
Planet
CARBON REDUCTIONREDUCED FLIGHT: We are devoted to environmental conservation through our Carbon Footprint Mitigation measures. A key feature of our tours is our aim to minimize our environmental impact. A prime way we do this is by limiting air travel. Our carefully planned 9-day journey ensures no domestic flights, adding to a more earth-friendly travel.
VEGETARIAN & VEGAN FOOD: On our 9-day trip, travelers will find a broad spectrum of eateries. Most of these offer daily vegetarian choices, catering to diverse dietary requirements. Many also have vegan options, giving guests the chance for plant-centric meals. This not only meets specific dietary needs but also underscores our commitment to lessen carbon emissions throughout the journey, upholding green travel ethics and letting travelers sustain an eco-friendly lifestyle.
ENVIRONMENT AND WILDLIFE
WASTE REDUCTION: In Iran, the easy availability of plastic has increased its use. We emphasize the necessity of green measures during our tours. Our initiatives include promoting reusable bags to reduce the demand for disposable ones during shopping. Moreover, given Iran's generous meal portions which can lead to food waste, we guide tourists about typical portion sizes to help them order wisely. For any uneaten food, we encourage packing it, potentially benefitting those in need.
STREET ANIMALS: Our commitment extends to preserving ecological balance, and we educate our tourists about the importance of maintaining local ecosystems. In places like Iran, where cats are common street animals, feeding them can unintentionally disrupt the balance, potentially leading to overpopulation. Such simple acts can create larger ecosystem challenges. Therefore, we instruct our tourists on ethically and considerately engaging with animals, underlining our pledge to sustainable travel.
People
LOCAL ECONOMYEMBRACING LOCAL INTERACTIONS: Iran's deep-rooted culture and the unparalleled warmth of its citizens often emerge as highlights for our visitors. Consequently, we've embedded a “local life immersion” section within our tours. This offers guests a profound insight into the Iranian lifestyle and promotes authentic bonds with the community. Our expert guides act as crucial connectors, addressing any cultural or language differences, ensuring smooth engagements. We've also instituted ethical standards for these interactions, guaranteeing our tourists interact with locals in a manner that is both respectful and fulfilling.
SUPPORTING LOCAL ARTISANS: Our 9-day journey introduces travelers to the age-old Bazaars of Tehran, Isfahan, and, Shiraz. Far from being just markets, these Bazaars encapsulate culture, history, and trade. Unlike modern shopping avenues, these Bazaars have preserved their authentic allure. They host numerous local ventures, often merging workshops with stores. This unique setup allows visitors to witness artisans at work. By spotlighting these Bazaars, we aim to not only display Iranian heritage but also to uplift local craftsmen. Our intent is to present a genuine Iranian experience while endorsing local entrepreneurship.
EMPLOYMENT, INCLUSIVITY AND DIVERSITY
LOCALLY OPERATED: We're honored to share that our entire team, from insightful guides to adept drivers and from our adept customer service to our administrative experts, comprises local Iranians. This approach guarantees genuine experiences for our guests and ensures that the economic gains from our business stay within the local populace, fueling its growth and affluence.
FAIR COMPENSATION: Our commitment lies in cultivating lasting and positive associations with our workforce. To this aim, we ensure salaries surpass the minimum benchmarks set in our areas of operation. This not only fosters a positive and inspired work atmosphere but also elevates the overall contentment and well-being of our staff, guaranteeing the continued excellence and reputation of our tours.
