Indochinaguides.com Focuses On Responsible Travel In Vietnam And Indochina

Feb. 7, 2009 - PRLog -- Indochina Guides guarantees for responsible travel and how it works
•   We use local guides at all destinations in Vietnam so as to provide jobs to local young people, especially like Sapa, Ha Giang, Hue, Mekong. We try to use local products like homestays in Sapa, Mekong and other locally owned hotels and guesthouses.
•   We take tourists to local restaurants where local food is being served by the local people and buy local food of the places we travel to.
•   We encourage our travellers to spend their money locally, e.g. buying local food and souvenirs and visit places of interests where they use fees to maintain conservation
environmental responsibility
•   We try not to use paper for marketing promotion, we spend most of our money to attract people using internet, and encourage our clients not to print their emails. We also reuse the bottles of water on tours and the bags provided.
•   The boats in Halong Bay, we try to use sails when possible and turn off the engines when boats are not running, we also use recharge batteries for our usage of lights on the boats so that we do not have to fuel a generator. We turn off the AC when it is not necessary on buses, and try to share buses/cars on our tours.
social responsibility
•   We fully understand our culture and society and provide our travellers with full information on our culture, customers, languages, code of conducts well in advance of the tours.
•   We use hotels and guesthouses where they employ the local people like in Sapa, Halong, Mai Chau. We also work with a boat company in Halong Bay to help the local communities.
