We intend to be
leading DMC, providing quality incoming travel services as well as personal and
tailored solutions for all types of events to our international travel trade
partners. We are always trying to improve not only our work but the
environmental aspects of the countries we operate and even the entire world. We
believe, that only sustainable company can make the earth a greener, safer
place for all living things. Our sustainability vision is to reduce and to
compensate CO2 emission and usage of natural resources, to teach our customers
and partners how to care about the future of the Earth, to have a great working
conditions in our office and to use creative solutions to add more value to our
products, region and the whole planet.
We set our vision and our goals
that guide our tour operations towards sustainability in tourism in the coming
period 2017-2022:
1. To promote cultural values, diversity and heritage with the sustainable
way of enjoying it and keeping up with the needs of the local community,
environment and our clients:
It is going to be reached
by including optional sustainability fee, which would be used to support
local communities, donate to the weak social groups. It will be added to our
new programs.
We are also going to making short introduction about the specifics of the
Baltic inside our travel packages and programs (Do's and Dont‘s of the region).
In 2018 - 2019 getting new programs, which will be specially adjusted
programs into slow tourism branch.
2. To enhance social inclusiveness and happiness of the Amber Tours workers
and partners:
After completing our
mission to be recognized as Sustainable company we are doing special few days
sustainability training for whole Amber Tour team. We are going to repeat it
annually with an updates about newest trends and ways to become even more
better. During this meeting we will promote our colleagues sharing
positive experience among each other.
We are planning to increase our participation in more events to promote social
responsibility and sustainability. From 2 - 3 events we are participating
anually we would try it to increase into 5 or more events.
Since becoming real Travelife parner we are going to make questionnaires for
our workers, partners and clients, which can help for us to see how we can
improve even more.
3. To use all the resources efficiently, with a care of environmental
protection and climate change:
We will strive to use
energy more efficiently and aim to reduce 20% of energy use for the period from
2017 - 2022. Same thing is planning to do with the usage of water and
waste.
To stay against hunting and other things, which can hurt the wildlife. To
refuse to work with people, who does not respect our point of view.
We are also going to continue our work with the options, which can help to
reduce the emission of CO2 - like the engagement of the usage of public
transportation/bicyles or even walking.
4. To find out the right way to accelerate growth of our company, while
committing to provide the best, most sustainable services possible for our
customers:
Check-up with partners
for sustainability issues at least once a Year.
Meanwhile signing any new contracts - include special reamarks about
sustainability and social responsibility.
Use message inside the letters - Go green, keep it on the screen! Also to avoid
printing out any unnecessary information.
To increase social media use for sustainability ideas and presenting the good
practice. At least 6 times a Year to use Facebook/web page/ newsletters which
includes our updates about sustainable way of living.
Dedicate our accommodation priorities for the sustainable transportation
companies and the hotels (for the situations, where are we choosing for our
client).
