Nature Travels and Sustainable Tourism
The principles of green travel have been central to our business since the beginning:
- We specialise exclusively in ecotourism experiences in cooperation with a network of small-scale, locally-owned partner companies in Sweden, all of whom are carefully selected for their high standards of environmental practice, customer service and safety.
- By taking part in one of our experiences, you are directly supporting the local economy, natural heritage and culture of the area. We operate a number of experiences in cooperation with the indigenous Sami people of northern Sweden.
- We support local conservation initiatives in Sweden, donating a percentage of pre-tax profits each year to small-scale projects focusing on endangered native wildlife.
- We are currently supporting Swedish wolf conservation through Svenska Rovdjursföreningen, the Swedish Predator Society. For more information on our ecotourism policy, please see www.naturetravels.co.uk/ecotourism.htm
- Sweden has an efficient and affordable public transport network and the vast majority of our clients travel within Sweden by train and bus. All Nature Travels experiences are accessible by public transport and we are very happy to offer detailed advice and guidance on any aspect of planning your journey.
- We offer the opportunity to offset CO2 emissions in partnership with Climate Care.
- Nature Travels is part of the 10:10 campaign, committed to reducing our carbon footprint a further 10% during our target year July 2010-July 2011.
