Responsible Travel
Responsible Travel
We, at Oasis Overland, realise the important role we have to play in ensuring that our trips are run responsibly to maximise the potential benefits to local communities and minimise the negatives. We believe that our trips should benefit local people and their environments, or at the very least not harm them.
Tourism is said to be the world's largest employer accounting for about 10% of global GDP and employing over 10% of the world's workforce. Not only does it play a crucial role in world economics, it has a significant impact on many people's day to day lives. If managed well it can be used to preserve natural environments, wildlife and people’s lifestyles and help people climb out of poverty but if managed poorly it can destroy natural environments and habitats and lead to serious human rights abuses.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT - YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
Water-to-Go
Oasis Overland have partnered with Water-to-Go to help reduce the number of plastic water bottles consumed during a trip.
Endangered Species
We encourage you to never buy endangered species or endangered habitat products - including items such as coral, ivory and rhino horn.
Try & Buy Local
We always encourage you to try and buy local food and drinks - this will help support local farmers, food sellers and their families.
Respect Local Customs
We encourage you to respect the local customs, traditions and beliefs of the people in the different regions that you travel through.
