Responsible Tourism
Travelers have an effect on the places they visit and the people and animals living there. Tourism dollars can have a positive social, economic, cultural and environmental impact.
Duffle & Compass limits our portfolio to working with local safari outfitters and providers who have environmentally responsible operations that minimize impact on wilderness areas. They employ local citizens and provide financial benefits for local communities. We work with professional guides who share their expertise on the local environmental struggles, as well as the political and cultural issues of the area.
Our experience is that our clients appreciate knowing more about the lands they travel through and the people who live on those lands. This knowledge builds mutual respect and fosters cultural understanding. Many of our clients come away with a feeling of connection with the people and places they have learned about on safari. Duffle & Compass provides information about philanthropic opportunities that are specific to the areas you will be visiting.
For those who wish to fly responsibly, Duffle & Compass advises travelers how to offset the carbon emissions from their international flight. Supporting energy conservation, green energy production and reforestation projects are options for neutralizing your carbon output.
