Our Green Policy <strong>Ornitholidays</strong> is one of a growing number of tour operators keen to promote a ‘greener’ and ‘more responsible’ brand of tourism. We recognise that most forms of modern travel inevitably involve the consumption of non-renewable resources. There is no realistic way round that and its associated environmental costs. However, we are convinced that at our destinations, there are vital responsibilities that we should and do accept: • Protect the environment, particularly its landscape, flora and fauna, and minimise environmental damage by touring in small groups. • Respect local cultures, namely their traditions, religions and heritage. • Benefit local communities by using locally-owned and run accommodation, by consuming local products and by using, wherever possible, local guides. To ensure that local people receive a fair share of the benefits of our tours. • Conserve natural resources by eliminating waste and, where possible, consuming renewable rather than nonrenewable ones. • Minimise environmental pollution caused by waste disposal, noise and litter. • Educate clients by keeping them well-informed about wildlife conservation issues, endangered species and threatened habitats. O U R G R E E N P O L I C Y, O N E S T O P & AT L E I S U R E Local guides and canoe, Ecuador One Stop & At Leisure Our brochure this year contains a number of tours with the ONE STOP logo or else the term At Leisure, or indeed both. In order to clarify what these terms mean a few lines are included here. ONE STOP is self-explanatory in that it means the holiday has one base for the duration. That is we arrive at one hotel and stay there for the entire tour. We have found that our clients have been increasingly demanding this style of holiday, so for this year we have included a number of tours that fit this criterion. Matchani Gran At Leisure is slightly more subjective but has been applied to tours where the pace is relaxed and the leaders will ensure that the group does not spend all their time in the field. Therefore, you should return in ample time for a wash and brush up before the evening meal and there should be time for a sundowner. Also, the leaders will endeavour to give some relaxation time during the heat of the afternoon. These tours will not be dawn to dusk affairs. However, as every tour is different the make up of each group will be taken into consideration. Hotel Trofea To make a booking please call <strong>Ornitholidays</strong> on 01794 519445 7
G R E E N TA X E S A N D C A R B O N O F F S E T T I N G Green Taxes and Carbon Offsetting There can be little doubt that something is happening to our climate. In the UK, birds are nesting earlier and many aspects of animal behaviour point towards a warming of the climate. The finger of suspicion is currently pointed at a previously innocuous gas, carbon dioxide. Without a doubt, air travel produces 1987 pollution and one of the outcomes of burning aviation fuel is carbon dioxide. All flight tickets include a Green Tax to help stop this pollution – so each time you travel, you are already paying towards mitigating your ‘carbon footprint’. 2005 2010 8 For a previous tour report or further information please call: 01794 519445
