responsible travel
Intrepid is committed to a style of travel that is environmentally, culturally and socially responsible - we call this 'Responsible Travel'. With your participation we aim to travel in a way that conserves the areas we visit and bring positive benefits to local communities.
our travel style
- Grass roots travel using local public transport where possible - minimises demand for special tourist vehicles and fuel.
- We choose small-scale locally owned accommodation and homestays where available and local restaurants and markets for dining, retaining revenue in local communities.
- Our group leaders facilitate communication of our values to travellers and local communities, educating them in sustainable tourism practices.
- We employ local guides to aid travellers' understanding of local culture and etiquette.
- Small groups allow travellers to experience cultures first hand, offering greater opportunity for cross- cultural understanding.
- We are committed to putting back into the communities and regions we visit by supporting many aid, development and conservation projects in these areas. Much of this support is through The Intrepid Foundation and travellers are invited to contribute.

the 'RT' team
My job is to monitor our current practices and develop sustainable tourism programmes so that we can all enjoy our travel destinations for many years to come. Our group leaders are a critical part of the team, implementing our philosophy and coordinating projects in the field.
