Travel, Love, Change: What Responsible Tourism means

"Responsible Tourism is tourism that is carried out according to principles of social and economic justice and with full respect towards the environment and cultures. Responsible Tourism recognizes the centrality of the local host community and its right to be protagonist in devoting sustainable and responsible tourism in its native land. Responsible Tourism encourages the positive interaction between the tourism industry, local communities and travelers" (AITR Official Definition)

I Viaggi del GOEL focuses on the traveler: the itineraries are an invitation to take care, in a way, for the world and people around, in order to create friendly and emotional connections feeding alliances and collaboration with those pursuing democracy and freedom.

The tour operator proposes responsible and sustainable tourism itineraries and holidays in Calabria, in Italy and abroad in the full respect of sustainability, legality and ethics, values and choices which lead to change and social redemption.
