WHO ARE WE
Since 2018 Asia Barefoot Travel team has been arranging the very best tailor-made holidays to Asia and taking the path in sustainable tourism to support local communities in Asia. curating trips that empower tourists and follow ethical wildlife techniques with a low carbon footprint. Our clients are able to visit our destinations in a way that most others will never be able to because of the positive reputation and enduring connections we have built and fostered with our suppliers.
Luxury, in our opinion, is in the experience. While we enjoy travelling in elegance, we’re not hesitant to venture off the beaten path in search of truly extraordinary experiences. We specialise in exclusive tailor-made holidays that are ideal for multigenerational family vacations, wildlife excursions, cultural tours, and honeymoons.
What Sustainability Means To Us
At Asia Barefoot Travel, we believe in “sustainably” travelling. We founded our business on the conviction that travelling the world is a fantastic experience and that responsible tourism can benefit the environment and local communities. We sincerely believe that travelling in a way that respects cultural traditions, protects the environment, and helps local people not only demonstrates respect, but also enhances the travel experience.
Environment, society, and economics, the three cornerstones of sustainable travel, have always been at the core of what we do, whether we are developing new excursions, giving our clients pre-holiday information, or looking for ways to help you leave a smaller carbon footprint.
Unseen Experience
The effects of excessive travel around the world worry us at Asia Barefoot Travel. We make an effort to be upfront about the number of visitors to popular tourist attractions and urge visitors to check out less well-known places.
You’ll undoubtedly want to visit a number of “crowded” must-see locations, such as the Sigiriya Rock fortress or Taj Mahal, and we’ll make sure you have the greatest time possible despite the crowds. However, our goal is to offer vacations that highlight the magic of a place through engaging encounters and distinctive perspectives. And frequently, our clients tell us that their fondest memories come from those unexpected encounters and hidden gems.
Keeping It Local
Asia Barefoot Travel always advocated for modest, family-run hotels and properties that maintain a close bond with the community. Additionally, we intentionally seek out excursions and events that prioritise bringing in locals and disperse the positive economic impacts of tourism throughout the community. By providing chances for employment, growth, and conservation, locals are empowered, and tourists have the chance to partake in high-quality, frequently one-of-a-kind experiences while remaining assured that their presence is having a direct and positive impact.
Ethical Wildlife Practices
It can be amazing to interact closely with wildlife in its natural habitat, but how can you be sure your actions are being taken with the animals’ best interests in mind?
We stipulate requirements for animal welfare in our agreements with vendors. Some animal activities, like riding elephants, were explicitly forbidden.
We continuously look for organisations and tour guides that are at the forefront of sustainability and conservation at Asia Barefoot Travel. Additionally, we give our clients comprehensive instructions on how to make the most of any wildlife viewing chances without endangering the wellbeing of the animals.
