'Going local' isn't only the best way for you to enjoy authentic travel, it also helps support the communities you visit.Staying in family run hotels and using local transport supports the economy of the region giving the people a real benefit from your visit. It's not only ethical but also echoes what our customers want.Most of our tour leaders are English-speaking locals, highly qualified and have an intimate knowledge of the area, unlocking doors to show you the sights many travellers miss. Of course, this also means we are providing income, training and careers to local people.Ethical Initiatives in the UKWe also work hard to be responsible at home. We've launched a number of initiatives including balancing all emissions generated by staff air travel. Plus all staff are encouraged to follow a set of guidelines covering simple but important measures and are aware of the need to reduce, re-use and recycle where possible.Carbon offsetOur aim is to neutralise all major emissions created by our trips. This means greenhouse gases emitted by transport and accommodation will be balanced and reinvested in projects that offer Gold Standard (or similar) Carbon Credits. A carbon offset is included in all our tour prices (except Europe).You can keep up to date with our latest initiatives by visiting www.imaginative-traveller.com/responsible-travel
