Responsible Tourism - BEING A RESPONSIBLE TOUR OPERATOR
Amazing Borneo strives to promote ethical and Responsible Tourism practices by ensuring that our tours are conducted with respect for the culture, environment, and people of Sabah and Sarawak. We will also continue to educate our customers on the importance of Responsible Travel and the need to act sustainably throughout their trips. Together, we will continue to preserve the beauty and culture of this unique part of the world while at the same time creating more sustainable livelihoods for the local communities.
Social Well-being
- We value inclusivity in our workforce and embrace employees from various races, cultures, nationalities, and religions. Our belief in the strength of diversity allows every employee to make an equal and active contribution to the company, thereby fostering a more equitable and inclusive community.
- We use our influence to encourage more responsible travel practices among our customers and raise awareness about the impact of sustainable tourism on local communities and the environment.
- We promote cultural exchange by creating opportunities for travellers to interact with local people and learn about their way of life. This can foster greater understanding and respect between cultures and contribute to preserving traditional practices and customs.
Environmental Preservation
- We make our operations more sustainable by reducing waste and energy use and implementing more sustainable transportation methods. For example, we have a dedicated maintenance team that regularly services our vehicles to keep them running efficiently and reduce their carbon footprint.
- We promote eco-friendly accommodations and support conservation efforts that protect endangered species, natural resources, and biodiversity. We work with local conservation organizations to ensure that our tour offerings have a minimal impact on the environment while supporting sustainable tourism practices.
- We encourage our customers to be mindful of their actions and their impact on the environment throughout their trips. By taking simple steps like reducing their use of plastic, respecting local customs and cultures, and supporting local businesses, our customers can minimize the negative environmental impacts of travel.
Economic Growth
- We actively contribute to the influx of tourists from around the world to Malaysia. Through our marketing efforts, we promote must-visit tourist destinations in Sabah and Sarawak, generating increased interest and driving more tourist traffic to the region. This enhances the overall tourism experience and generates local revenue.
- We also contribute to local businesses run by communities by incorporating them into our tour packages, such as locally-owned accommodations and restaurants. This increases the visibility of local offerings and drives more business and tourism to these communities.
- Additionally, we provide employment opportunities by hiring local guides and suppliers, collaborating with local stakeholders, and promoting fair wages and working conditions.
