Making a Difference

Martsam Tour & Travel organizes tours that are focused on sustainability while respecting the natural environment as well as communities and their traditions. We try as much as possible to use suppliers that are committed to sustainable practices, and we also work with them in the implementation of sustainable practices, leading to improved quality of the services offered.

Environmental friendliness: All business activities are analyzed and taken into consideration so that environmental impacts are avoided, mitigated, compensated, or reversed. The natural environment is very important and complementary to our product, and is therefore indispensable for our daily survival.

Social and cultural responsibility: We consider the social and cultural background of the sites we visit so that we benefit the local people. The cultural environment is the most charismatic part of our product and therefore, contributing to its conservation is a way of preserving our own way of life.

Financial sustainability: We ensure that our operations generate true revenues and profits for the communities, and that the payments to the service providers are fair.

Martsam Tour & Travel cooperates with different service providers such as hotels, restaurants, community projects, local leaders, and guides, based on the agreement for Best Practices in Sustainable Tourism, established with the Rainforest Alliance in 2006.

Martsam is a member of Tour Operators Promoting Sustainability (TOPS), a specialized global platform of tour operators dedicated to promoting and supporting sustainable tourism in their respective markets.
