GLOBAL
INITIATIVES
AS WE GROW AS A COMPANY SO DOES OUR FEELING
OF RESPONSIBILITY TO THE WORLD THAT WE LIVE
AND TRAVEL IN. TRAVELING AROUND THE GLOBE,
WE ARE CONSTANTLY REMINDED OF THE EFFECT
TOURISM HAS ON THE ENVIRONMENT AND ON THE
LOCAL COMMUNITIES IN THE PLACES WE VISIT. THE
AIM OF OUR GLOBAL INITIATIVES PROGRAM IS TO
TAKE STEPS TOWARDS BOTH OFFSETTING OUR OWN
IMPACT AND PROMOTING POSITIVE, SUSTAINABLE
CHANGE THROUGH PROJECTS THAT WE BELIEVE IN
AT HOME AND ABROAD. THE HEALTH OF THE PLANET
AND THE COMMUNITIES THAT EXIST WITHIN IT IS
OUR HIGHEST PRIORITY WHEN MANAGING OUR
TRIPS, AND WE HOPE TO SHARE THAT SENTIMENT
WITH EVERYONE THAT TRAVELS WITH US.
Below is a growing list of the projects we are currently
involved in, if you would like to suggest any organization or
initiatives that we could participate in please send an email

#ProtectWhereYouPlay
CHILDSAFE
In many of the countries we travel to there is a large population of youth
at risk to become victims of trafficking or unethical/forced business prac-
tices. To ensure we’re doing all we can we partnered with ChildSafe Inter-
national, which is a renowned program that proactively protects children
in countries around the world from abuse and exploitation. Our staff take
the ChildSafe training program in Bangkok and have the knowledge and
resources to not only spot the exploitation of children, but also to put an
end to it by using the ChildSafe network who work with local authorities
to arrest the guilty parties and guide the children towards a better future.
Last year, reports from our staff helped lead authorities to the arrest of a
human trafficker who was forcing kids to sell roses on Khao San Road!
