Sustainability Policy

At EET, we are committed to responsible and sustainable travel practices. Our mission is to protect the environment, uplift communities, and preserve cultural heritage while delivering exceptional travel experiences. This policy outlines our sustainability commitments for travellers and travel agents who use our platform.

1. Environmental Responsibility

Carbon Reduction: EET aims to minimize carbon footprints by encouraging low-emission transportation options, promoting eco-friendly accommodations, and partnering with suppliers who share our sustainability goals. We are working towards achieving net-zero emissions in line with global targets.

Waste Management: We discourage single-use plastics and encourage travellers to use refillable water bottles, reusable bags, and sustainable packaging. Our partners are required to follow best practices for waste reduction.

Conservation of Natural Resources: Activities that promote environmental awareness, such as nature-based experiences and wildlife conservation efforts, are prioritized. We collaborate with organizations that restore habitats and support biodiversity.

2. Cultural and Community Engagement

Respect for Local Cultures: Travelers are encouraged to engage with communities in a respectful manner. EET promotes experiences that highlight local cultures while preserving their unique identities.

Economic Support: We prioritize local suppliers and artisans, ensuring that tourism benefits extend to the communities we visit. This includes supporting businesses that practice fair trade and employ local workers.

Ethical Wildlife Interactions: EET prohibits any tours or activities that exploit animals. Instead, we support wildlife sanctuaries and rehabilitation programs that meet recognized ethical standards.

3. Sustainable Travel Practices for Travelers

Eco-friendly Accommodations and Activities: Choose options that have sustainability certifications or practices, such as green hotels or carbon-neutral activities.

Mindful Consumption: Reduce energy and water use, and participate in responsible dining by opting for local and sustainably sourced food. Leave No Trace: Follow guidelines to protect natural areas, such as staying on marked trails, avoiding the removal of natural objects, and disposing of waste responsibly.

4. Responsible Booking Practices for Travellers and Travel Agents

Promote Sustainable Itineraries: Recommend trips that include environmentally responsible experiences and accommodations.

Inform Travelers: Provide clients with information on sustainability practices, including eco-friendly options, cultural etiquette, and guidelines for responsible travel behaviour.

Work with Sustainable Partners: Prioritize collaborations with suppliers and vendors who have sustainability certifications or commitments.

5. Monitoring and Continuous Improvement

Sustainability Training: EET provides regular training for staff, partners, and travel agents to keep updated on sustainable tourism practices.

Support for Environmental Projects: A portion of EET’s revenue is allocated to supporting environmental conservation and community development initiatives.
