The latest start up from my friend Tom Savage:

Hi,

Please have a look at a new company we’ve set up called Travelroots (www.travelroots.com). The aim of the company is to offer a selection of the finest responsible holidays from around the world.

For our selection of holidays, have a look at the following page on our website: www.travelroots.com/journeys.htm. Amongst the adventures on offer through Travelroots are kayaking with killer whales in Canada, horse safaris in a reserve in South Africa, and scuba-diving in a marine park in Indonesia. For more information about any of these, or anything else, email justpacking@travelroots.com

Just for the record just because you are a responsible traveller, doesn’t mean that you try to save water by not washing, wear colourful rainbow jumpers and only eat straight from your allotment… It means that instead of going to a large, unfriendly, impersonal tower block which has been given five-stars by some reviewer whose entire family stayed for free*, you get the chance to go somewhere really special and make a difference.

When a hotel or resort really cares about the local wildlife and people, it normally means that they care much more about your stay. At Travelroots, we look carefully for originality, commitment to the local environment, family-run, uniqueness, local guides, knowledge of the area, comfort, beauty… As a result, we believe that our holidays are more enjoyable, of better quality and much better value for money…

Oh, and we can’t do it all ourselves, so if you know of anywhere that you think we should feature, please email: beenthere@travelroots.com

Thanks
Tom
