Our
aims and objectives
We
are strongly committed to developing world tourism and care
especially about the destinations where we operate. Green
Elephant Travel has the following objectives:
- To
enrich the lives of travelers.
-
To interact with local people.
-
To provide enjoyment and satisfaction in a professional
manner.
-
To expand your knowledge and life experiences.
-
To ensure that you receive the best value for money.
-
To provide tourism that benefits the local communities.
-
To minimize the negative impact traveling can have on
socio-cultures and the environment.
-
To create more jobs for the local people (at present,
there are not enough jobs to go round for post-grad students
in Cambodia.)
-
To raise funds for our charitable organization Kid’s
Hope. The financial support we provide will ensure homeless
and parentless children an education and better way of
life.
Care
for the Environment
Tourism
can have both a positive and a negative impact on local people
and the environment. We aim to reduce the negative impacts
of tourism and increase the positive. The TripStyles, created
by Green Elephant Travel, allow visitors to explore in ways
that reduce the damage caused by tourism to our world. We
feel the importance of keeping our world green for generations
to follow.
-
Water - A percentage of our benefits
will go towards installing local and rural areas with water
pumps. This will help provide clean water in the dry season,
a time of extreme need.
-
Climate - The TripStyles have
been designed to reduce the amount of domestic and every
other short flights, in turn, reducing the amount of Co2
omitted into the atmosphere.
-
Litter - We encourage local volunteers
to help keep the land tidy by cleaning the affected areas
and discouraging the use of plastic bags.
Develop
Cambodia The
help and support we provide to local communities enables interaction
between travelers and local people and therefore increasing
an understanding between differing cultures. We appreciate
the importance that travelers feel to connect with and experience
their surroundings.
As
we expand as a company, we create more and more jobs for local
people. The way things stand at present there are not enough
jobs for graduates and other educated professionals. All of
our staff have previous experience of working for larger travel
companies either in administration or as guides. The benefit
of ‘going local’ is that, due to local connections,
you will receive the best deals on secure modes of transport,
clean and comfortable accommodation and authentic dishes.
We give travelers the chance of experiencing what real life
is like in Cambodia, by giving you the opportunity to stay
with local people some of the time. We aim to introduce travelers
to the local cuisine and encourage them to use local products
and services, in order to support the local restaurants and
hotels, thus supporting the local economy. Most of our profits
go towards developing an infrastructure to a land so desperately
in need. We will also give you the opportunity to teach English
or other languages to the children in the villages and involve
yourself in activities such as like football, valley ball,
etc with the local kids!
