For many people taking a family holiday abroad is a much needed break away from the busy lives we lead but how to enjoy a holiday without feeling that it is detrimental to the environment is a concern for a growing number of individuals.

The eco-tourism movement advocates travel and tourism that does not harm the natural environment, reduces our carbon footprint and furthermore helps to protect wildlife and habitats. Examples of this may be getting involved in projects that monitor wildlife in the rainforest or helping to build reserves for elephants in Africa it could even be cleaning plastic from beaches to protect ocean creatures from the pollution that is found in the sea.

Taking your family on this type of holiday gives each member of your group a truly unforgettable experience as they make a difference to the place you visit whilst also enjoying a holiday in an amazing location.

The choice of destination and project is diverse and can be tailored to your family and the ages of your children. These family friendly trips are ideal if you are looking to do something different and give your family the chance to gain a unique insight into different cultures and traditions.
