As a specialist tour operator with an on going commitment to responsible tourism, we felt a carbon offset scheme was the next step for us and initially set up our own carbon offset scheme for The Gambia Experience. On the success of this we have now expanded the scheme to our other brands excluding Great Escapes. Primarily monies collected will fund projects in The Gambia but we are currently researching potential projects in other destinations for future initiatives.
We are closely working with the Tourism Industry Carbon Offset Service (TICOS) a specialist in this area who have helped us set up a Community Tree Planting Project in The Gambia.
In addition to this, we have also pledged to support one of TICOS’ newly signed off projects, Gambia Mayan Turbo Stove Project.
We are offering our clients the opportunity to contribute to a project that will help offset the carbon emissions from flights and benefit the environment, host communities in The Gambia and other destinations in the future.
