Companies that pay it forward – why you should choose to be a conscious traveller

August 18, 2018 by Rosemary

Tourism can be both a blessing and a curse. As visitors, we are drawn to pristine environments populated by friendly locals who are falling over themselves to welcome us into their world. Adverts and articles paint a picture of perfection and convince us that somehow we’re being short changed if we accept anything less.
