The World Environment Day celebrated globally yesterday, comes at a time when we are restrained from travelling around like we used to before the global pandemic took the world by storm. However, the creative team of Secret Paradise Maldives made sure that they marked this important event on their calendar by pledging their support and commitment to responsible tourism by taking The Travel Better Pledge.
Created by the advocators of sustainable travel, Sustainable Travel International, The Travel Better Pledge is a commitment to leaving behind positive impact wherever one travels to. Sustainable Travel International aims to create a global movement of over million people contributing to conserving our planet’s most vulnerable destinations through responsible travel. Their missions and values closely reflect everything Secret Paradise Maldives uphold with their tour operations.
All members of Secret Paradise Maldives took the oath,
I am committed to PROTECTING and PRESERVING our planet’s most vulnerable destinations so that future generations of residents and visitors can continue to experience the splendor of these places for years to come. I pledge to “Travel Better” by making a conscious effort to:
LIGHTEN the footprint of my travels
CONSERVE the wild places I explore
SUPPORT the people and communities I visit
RESPECT the wildlife I see
CELEBRATE cultures authentically and respectfully
ADVOCATE for sustainable tourism
“We should remember that we all have a part to play in making our world a better place one step at a time,” said Tour Leader, UB Waseem, reflecting on the global efforts in restarting tourism during a challenging pandemic.
Since 2012, the award-winning Secret Paradise Maldives Tour Group has created a tasteful porfolio of carefully put-together tours inclusive of something to suit a wide range of preferences. Their local guide team enable guests to connect safely with Maldivian culture, local communities and the environment, going beyond the realms of a traditional Maldives holiday.
Whether you are a responsible traveler or a conscientious business, you too can pledge to supporting a better world, one kind and sustainable action at a time.
