Ecoteer Responsible Travel

As our name suggests we are a Responsible Travel Company, or at least a travel company that aspires to be as responsible as possible. Responsible Tourism to us means that we look after the environment, people, culture, our staff, our accounts and of course our tourists. In general being responsible means we provide as many benefits as possible to all parties.

We provide opportunities for volunteers to volunteer in projects ranging from animal conservation, teaching English and community development projects. Our volunteering programmes are focused towards short term volunteering which is about one week to three month projects. Through volunteering, it is an excellent way to travel and experience new cultures abroad while doing something that benefits the local environment and the community.
