Sustainability & Responsible Tourism
Excel Travel follows a philosophy that supports the approach towards Green Tourism. We are keen to share the role and the responsibility of maintaining a sustainable society and sustainable trade.We believe that the true value of the organization lies not only on its size, but rather in its depth of engagement with community building, and its role in the impact on the environment.
In Excel Travel, we adopt a strategy of paying back to our society and keep it as one of our main areas of focus. Hence, we watch our acts to lessen our impact on the surrounding environment, as much as we participate in supporting our country’s economy and elevating the living standards of our society. We actively engage in fundraising programs of recycling and empowering underprivileged youth and women to become important productive units in their community by showcasing their self-made products in specially arranged outlets for sale. Therefore we invite interested customers to visit these places and buy some products as part of their tour. They appreciate the efforts and the high quality outcomes and usually like to help with donations.
