Sustainable travel

Tourism is a large industry, with a huge potential for economic growth and employment. Unfortunately, tourism also has negative effects on nature and local cultures. Sustainable tourism is a way of travelling that you respects the environment, culture, people, nature in all the places you go to, to preserve the beauty for the next generation to enjoy.

Our mission is bring more and more sustainability into our business processes. We are a company that strives for continuous improvement in responsible travel. We regularly take our own products under scrutiny and we participate in projects seeking sustainable solutions
