The various education activities run by the company to the operatives and partners such as: avoid waste, cut food waste, plant trees, use of reusable bags, drive less etc.
 
Our hotels (Partners)have great policies for reducing the pollution, use of renewable energy for heat-ting, use of natural sources of thermal mineral water and run various activities to educate the locals and the guests of benefits to live more and more environmentally friendly.

Protecting and restoring nature and biodiversity
As many of our excursions and hiking treks are in National Parks protected areas, which contain rare and endangered wildlife species and communities. Self-regulating ecosystems of biological diversity, as well as historic sites of global cultural and scientific significance. Some of the largest rivers in the Balkan Peninsula originate here.
Therefore, our trip leaders considered it of great importance to give correct information to our guests regarding behavior in a national park or the local area to reduce as much as possible the human footprint and be environmentally friendly.
 
In all of our holidays, we make sure that we are working with partners who help develop the local economy (use of mainly local farms, organic, plant-based wholefoods) and usefully reduce the pollution.

Providing local benefits from tourism, especially to the marginalized
We provide all our guests with an information pack in advance regarding the local rules or guidelines that will affect the them.
All of our tours encourage clients to have a positive effect by engaging with locals, using local facilities and investing in traditional gifts and local produce.
Additionally, the money from visitors is used to maintain footpaths, churches. local museums and cultural monuments from being damaged with people walking in protected areas.
