Business with care
At Aller Leisure we understand that travel impacts the world we live in – for better and for worse.
Travel promotes understanding between peoples and cultures – and it helps bind the world together more closely at a time when we need shared understanding and solutions to shared challenges more than ever before.
Travel also contributes to economic development and nature conservation around the world. But there is also another side to that story: The negative impacts of travel on the climate, the environment and local communities. We acknowledge this. And we are actively working to reduce our negative impact.
What do we do?
• We cannot eliminate flights from our trips, so instead we choose to focus on everything we can influence – at our home office at home and on the ground at the destinations.
• Our primary areas of focus are decent working conditions, human rights, respect for local cultures, protection of the environment and biodiversity, as well as animal welfare.
• We collaborate with Travelife, an international certification program for tour operators, that independently ensures and verifies that we are working purposefully with sustainability.
• We are currently a Travelife Partner, the key milestone before full certification. To earn this recognition, we have met over 100 sustainability criteria. You can read more about the criteria here. Two of our travel agencies, NYATI Safari and Aller Travel, have not yet been awarded Travelife Partner status, but have started their journey in collaboration with Travelife.
