Responsible Travel in South East Asia Advocated by Vietnamese Tour Company

Responsible travel is a new way of traveling while respecting and benefiting local cultures, practices and economy. It also highlights significant elements of how to protect the environment, help in reducing carbon emission, and helping nature by planting trees, protecting endangered animals. Besides that responsible tourism can also include efforts to help humanity by giving to the people in need, by volunteering time and knowledge to educate them, treat them or take care of their special needs. A company that advocates responsible travel in South East Asia is Exotissimo Travel. They do so with their products which are surrounded by activities that not only give travelers the chance to experience a destination, but enable them to do something good while their travels.

Some of the Exotissimo tours are, Luang Prabang Charitable Tour or Cycling the Mekong: An Eco-experience. The former is a 5 days, 4 nights tour which combines sightseeing with visits to local charities and cultural events. During this tour you will be using electric bikes to cruise around the town. During the tour the travelers will stop at few non-profit organizations and learn how these organizations are helping in preserving the Lao culture and heritage and how travelers can contribute towards it. Travelers also get to learn about the local culture as part of responsible travel through cultural ceremonies. This trip also includes a trip to a rescue center where endangered species are kept and take care of. Exotissimo’s Luang Prabang Charitable Tour also includes a book donation program. Children in Laos do not have the resources to educate themselves and this helps in giving them some form assistance to get educated and also make you feel good about your contribution to these children.
