Our Commitment to Sustainable Tourism

As a locally-owned tour operator, we understand that the preservation of our treasured natural resources is in our best interest. As residents we seek to ensure that Nalalawa's incredible natural heritage remains intact to be enjoyed by our children and by generations to come. We define sustainable tourism as tourism that sustains or enhances the geographical character of a place – its environment, culture, aesthetics, heritage, and the well-being of its residents. Our guided nature adventures are designed with these principles in mind and strive to preserve, maintain, and enhance our island home. 

 

Nalalawa Eco-Tourism has been working with Rosie Tours for 23 years and it has developed our skills in observing as they provide service and as visitors visit our shores.

 

In addition to sharing the incredible natural and cultural heritage of Nalalawa with guests, our tours:

 

• Minimally impact the local environment. Where possible, we incorporate voluntourism into our experiences to create opportunities for guests to give back.

• Minimize the use of resources and reduce waste generation.

• Preference is given to re-useable or recycled items and waste generated from tours is sorted to ensure local landfills are minimally impacted. Fulfill resource use guidelines. We work closely with local resource managers and landowners to ensure that our tours are operated within established land-use parameters.
