Holiday information
Indigenous communities:
This holiday in Ghana across the Accra, Ejisu, and Kumasi regions benefits the Ashanti community by preserving their culture through the purchases of food and souvenirs in craft markets such as Adamwomase, Ahwia, and Ntonso, known for weaving clothes and woodwork. It provides employment opportunities for the Ashanti community as guides and chefs, utilizing their traditional knowledge and supplying them with training. This tour contributes to the community by giving gifts or donations with every set of tourists to Ashanti elders, further supporting the community and preserving significant Ashanti sites such as, the Okomfo Market, where the gifts are purchased.
Responsible Travel
As the pioneers of responsible tourism, we've screened this (and every) holiday so that you can travel knowing we've worked to maximise the benefits of your holiday to local people and places, and minimise any negative impacts.
Planet and people
CommunityWe have built strong links with local communities, craftspeople and artists who are maintaining our culture and traditions. We offer visitors an opportunity to meet them, thereby valuing their activities and thus helping towards their survival. After the trip in the craft villages – Adamwomase, Ahwia and Ntonso travellers are encouraged to leave some money in the communities by eating delicious and nutritious local foods and buy local souvenirs.
Again, all guides on this trip are local guides, picked for their excellent indigenous knowledge of the area and high degree of training.
Any time we send travellers or tourists to a community based tourism site, we as a company donate or give something little to support in the development of the community.
Environment
Before any trip we give the code of conduct to travellers to know how to conduct themselves in order not to destroy the local culture, flora and fauna species. 'Do not take any flora, take only photographs' and ‘Do not litter but leave only your footprint policy’. Helps to keep the environment clean as our guides are asked to explain and encourage this policy during the trip. We also inspect the facilities in these sites to make sure that they are well intact.
We encourage travel by public bus by clients which is very cheap in Ghana. In this way the carbon dioxide emitted into the atmosphere is reduced. In the various communities there are bicycles for hiring at a cheaper rate and we encourage clients staying in communities for long to use them or walk if the distance is short .
