What is Responsible Travel?

Tourism is the world’s fastest growing industry. Traveling to far flung places gives us a wonderful opportunity to experience cultures that are so different from our own. But with the wondrous joy of travel comes the responsibility of ensuring that we do not adversely affect those countries that we visit. In a nutshell, Responsible Travel is about ensuring that you, as travelers, and Buffalo Tours, as a promoter of travel:

• respect the local culture
  
• do not inadvertently introduce new social ills and
  
• promote & practice environmental responsibility in the places that we visit

That way, you enjoy a unique and memorable experience as well as authentic cross-cultural exchange and our local resources, cultures and customs are protected.
