Responsible Tourism

Tourism is now a major industry and it makes a positive contribution to stabilising and revitalising rural communities by providing investment, income and employment. These are sound economic reasons for preserving and protecting the natural and traditional environment which are the very basis for the tourism. It‘s particularly important to us walkers therefore to do what we can to minimise any possible adverse effects of our activities on the environment.

Walkabout walking policy is to make a positive contribution to the principles of Responsible Travel.

Walkabout walking do not have a brochure
We strive to reduce paper consumption by developing our website and electronic literature. We try to reduce the amount of paper materials that we produce and recycle as much of the paper we use as possible.

We specialise in walking holidays in Europe and the amount of air travel we generate is small. We are not major contributors to the adverse impact that air travel has on global warming.

We uphold and promote environmental and mountaineering ethics as responsible walkers.

We support local communities
It's particularly important to us, with our base in Llanberis, to support local economies, which we believe we do by bringing work and cash into the community. Our activities help to conserve the unique natural and cultural assets that make walking in our chosen parts of the U.K. and Europe so special.
