EXPANDING SUSTAINABLE TRAVEL
Founded in the International Year of Sustainable Tourism for Development, we strive to align our business values with that of the United Nations World Tourism Organization.
Off Season Adventures specializes in off season travel to promote:
- Inclusive and sustainable economic growth by infusing the local communities with capital that is typically limited to only the high season
- Social inclusiveness, employment, and poverty reduction through strategic community investments and striving to work with locally-owned lodges, restaurants, and excursions
- Resource efficiency, environmental protection, and climate change mitigation through reducing our ecological footprint while abroad and offsetting our impacts when we cannot
- Cultural values, diversity, and heritage by respecting and researching local communities and cultures before and while abroad
- Mutual understanding, peace, and security by educating our clients before and during their tour
Grow with us as we continue to expand sustainable travel around the world.
LOCAL & ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS
At Off Season Adventures, we focus on sustainability in all aspects of our business. We start by focusing our tours during the off season, which creates economic stability in the tourism sector. We operate on a completely paperless basis when communicating with clients and our contacts on the ground in Tanzania. We carbon offset all emissions from our client's flights, ground transportation, and lodges. We use a variable percentages of our client's total package cost to give back to the communities surrounding the accommodations. These community and environmental investments are tangible projects which our clients can see during their trip. Here is the breakdown for our investments:
- 5% for 1-2 person tour packages
- 10% for 3-5 person tour packages
- 15% for 6 or more person tour packages
These investments are accrued until the appropriate funding is in place. All projects are determined by the communities and dependent on their most direct needs, however, we focus on projects to support: water management, waste management, electricity, education, and health services.
Our goal is to become a truly sustainable travel company by replacing all resources used by our clients during their tours.
