Throughout the world there are landscapes, cultures and wild animals under threat from the pressures of modern development.  We at Bales Worldwide believe in responsible tourism and are dedicated to supporting conservation initiatives. It’s vital for us to make sure that we respect every country visited, leaving only positive things behind. Our local staff and suppliers ensure that they adhere to all social and environmental codes and we actively support charities in many of our destinations.

We support Climate Care, an organisation dedicated to funding projects that reduce CO2 emissions. You may wish to add your own contribution via their website www.climatecare.org

As a partner of the Know Before You Go Campaign, we work with the Foreign and Commonwealth Office to do all we can to help British travellers stay safe overseas. For travel advice and up to date country information visit  www.fco.gov.uk/knowbeforeyougo
