Just a little more thought and care
Adventure tourism continues to grow worldwide and with that, so too does the accompanying pressures and impacts on local environments and communities in the places we visit. And with many travellers visiting Nepal and the Himalaya each year, the strain on this beautiful environment also continues to increase. We have seen at first hand the effect tourism has on local communities – both good and bad. Being responsible and protecting the environment does not mean a compromise in quality or standards of travel, if anything it requires just a little more thought and care and there are many admirable examples of how tourism can benefit and sustain the environment and indigenous peoples.
