If this was a perfect world, everyone working in tourism or living in a touristic area would be benefiting from tourism. Unfortunately the world is far from perfect, and many people, particularly in poor countries who are involved in tourism are abused by employers and in some cases by tourists.  We cannot claim 100% perfection on all of our tours, but with your help we will improve and maybe other western tour operators and local employers will take notice and become more responsible.  To be sustainable tourism must benefit all who are involved or affected and respect natures order.

With the acceptance by an ever increasing number of influential scientists around the world that Global Warming is a serious threat, there is a need to ensure that our travels are not making things worse. We continue to make our carbon footprint as small as possible by assessing needs and doing without certain items or purchasing items with recyclable packaging, etc. etc.

We offset our personal and business carbon footprints. In addition we have made considerable donations in an attempt to protect old growth forests from developers as well as supporting newly planted woodlands in a number of countries.  What can you do ?  Many people are already offsetting the carbon emissions of the flights they take for holidays and business, maybe you would consider doing the same.

Offset your flight emissions or maybe your full carbon footprint

"By choosing a Muir's Tours experience you will be bringing benefit to the places and people you meet. In addition all profits will be divided between worthy causes in the countries you visit and our core charities. The result being that everyone benefits. All profits, means 100%. Not a small percentage as part of a marketing gimmick. In addition we ensure that our administration costs are low. This is possible as we have a small army of volunteers who help our staff. Our premises are rent free thanks to our generous landlords."
