Their employees make very long working days and don’t have basic rights as a steady contract (in this way the companies avoid as well the health insurance they are obligated to pay for their employees) or a minimum wage. Employees don’t dare to protest, as they fear loosing their jobs. Although we sure loose many clients due to higher prime costs we refuse to participate in this kind of business. More than that: we spend 10% of the total price of our own operated tours on our donation program. Read more: our water project Be well informed!

And we want to offer our clients the possibility to help a bit as well. Read more about our donation program and the possibilities of volunteer work. Read more: our volunteer program |
