Main area of focus in Caring for the Destination:  

This trip takes people to the turtle beach sanctuary in Ras Al Jinz. This area is protected and a scientific research centre has been put close by to educate clients. All trips to see the turtles are done by trained rangers.

Detailed description of the Caring for the Destination Initiative: 

Our company and all the accommodations we visit are locally owned by Omanis. As with all of our trips this one is led by experienced local Omani guides who are fluent in a number of languages including English, French, and German. They are all trained and accredited by the Oman Tourism Board.

This trip includes a trip to the turtle reserve at Ras Al Jinz. The state of the art eco-tourism facility provides a unique learning and recreational experience for visitors. It offers everything from turtle viewing to environmental and archaeological research facilities, contributing towards the conservation of Oman's natural and cultural heritage, as well as the economic wellbeing of the local community. All fees paid to the reserve go towards the upkeep and development of the centre and this is something that we endorse.

We make all of our guests aware of the environment and culture they are in and this is reflected in the pre-departure information they receive as well as in the information they receive from their guides. We actively promote a positive experience for both the hosts and guests and find this leads to greater enjoyment for all concerned.
