SARUS PROJECT
SUSTAINABLE TOURISM
For more than a decade, Sarus witnessed firsthand how tourism empowered local communities with job opportunities and fuelled their economy. Yet, amidst the triumphs, we've also faced the sobering reality of environmental degradation caused by reckless tourism practices.
Siam Express stands shoulder to shoulder with the Sarus Project in advocating for responsible tourism through an unwavering commitment to eco-friendly practices, sustainable initiatives, and responsible travel. Together, we pave the way for a future where every journey leaves a positive imprint.
What is Responsible Tourism?
Responsible Tourism embodies a commitment to minimizing adverse economic, environmental, and social effects. It empowers local communities in decision-making processes, champions conservation efforts, cultivates enjoyable experiences, and nurtures cultural sensitivity and respect.
Negative Impact of Tourism?
How Does It Truly Make a Difference?
Our endeavors not only uplift local economies but also contribute to the preservation of natural wonders. By offering enriching experiences, we cultivate a deeper appreciation for diverse cultures while nurturing respect and sensitivity towards them.
- Enhances economic prosperity for local communities
- Engages locals in decision-making that impacts their lives and chances at living
- Preserves natural and cultural heritage, fostering global diversity
- Enhances tourist experiences through authentic connections with locals and deeper understanding of local dynamics
- Cultivates cultural sensitivity, fosters mutual respect between visitors and hosts, and fosters community pride
We strongly believe in the "Hand Up, not Hand Out" approach – aiming to empower both local communities and the environment. Rather than fostering dependency, we extend our hands upward to uplift and empower, ensuring sustainable growth and self-reliance within local communities.
