Asian Trails’ Group Sustainability Manager Ameer Virani said: “Selling more sustainable products is Asian Trails’ number one sustainability priority. This is for the simple reason that, as a travel company, our core business is to sell travel products. Therefore, the only way for us to be a genuinely more sustainable company is to make the products we sell more sustainable.
“As with many destinations, there is a lack of understanding around exactly how visitors can travel more sustainably while in the destination. Although flying less and staying at eco-resorts are great for sustainable travel, there are many other more convenient ways for the average visitor to travel more sustainably.
“Our destinations in Asia have an abundance of small businesses owned by local community members selling food and other products, as well as operating small-scale travel experiences. Supporting these small, local businesses is a great way to travel sustainably in the country.
“Through these Explore guides, we want to show that travelling more sustainably is not complicated or expensive, and it even enhances the visitor experience. A win-win situation”.
