We at Expa Travel take responsibility – both for people and the environment

Even though we are a small player in the travel industry, we believe that everyone has a responsibility. Small players can also make a difference when it comes to human rights, climate, environment, and sustainable development. Many small steps can combined have a big impact.

A healthy business with care

We believe that running a healthy and profitable business can easily be combined with taking care of people, the environment, and resources. Ever since our start in 2004, we have been clear about what we stand for – and why we do what we do.
Our vision has grown stronger with every trip we organize, and we are driven by the joy of contributing positively, both for our participants and for the people we meet along the way.

Our sustainability principles

We have selected a few, but important principles based on the UN Sustainable Development Goals. These form the basis of our sustainability policy. In addition, we collaborate with Travelife, an international organization that helps tourism operators become more sustainable. We know we cannot do everything at once – but we believe in working step by step.

We have a special focus on these four areas:

• Clean environment and efficient resource use
  We work to minimize pollution and waste, both from our own operations and from the participants on our trips – and to use fewer of the resources that are not renewable.

• Local roots and collaboration
  We want to involve the local communities we visit. This means local food, local guides, and local partners – and a tourism development that benefits more people.

• Safety and quality for our guests
  We facilitate safe, inclusive, and meaningful travel experiences – regardless of gender, background, functional ability, or age.

• Long-term, economic sustainability
  We think long-term. The goal is to offer trips that are sustainable both for us, our partners, and for the local communities we work with.
