Statement of Sustainable Tourism

Sustainable Tourism At Vertex Holiday, we understand the significant impact that tourism can have on the environment, culture, and local communities. As a responsible adventure holiday planner, we are committed to promoting sustainable tourism practices and ensuring that our business operates in an environmentally and socially responsible manner. In line with the guidelines of the UNWTO and the GSTC, we focus on the following key aspects:

Biodiversity: We understand the importance of preserving and protecting the natural environment, and we aim to minimize our impact on wildlife and ecosystems. We encourage our clients to take walking, hiking, and trekking trips that require the minimal use of carbon-emitting vehicles and equipment.

Culture: We believe that cultural exchange is an important part of the tourism experience, and we strive to facilitate deep cultural interactions between our clients and local communities. We notify and encourage our clients about the cultural norms and values, and we also encourage them to purchase from local businesses to support the local economy.

Employing Locals: We prioritize employing local people as per the designated trip destination and invest in the training and empowerment of our staff. We also ensure that our staff is provided with decent wages, work, accident, and medical insurance and that their needs and commodities are taken care of.

Health and Safety: The safety and security of our valued clients are of utmost importance to us, and we will not compromise this for our personal or our company’s profit. We take all necessary measures to ensure that our clients are safe and secure while they are on their holiday.

Eco-Tourism Promotion: We believe in promoting sustainable tourism practices and strive to educate our clients about the importance of eco-tourism. We encourage them to use reusable water bottles and other necessary items and to dispose of plastics and other pollutants properly.

Legal Compliance: We operate our business in compliance with all relevant laws and regulations, including those set by the government. This helps us to ensure that our activities are sustainable and responsible, and it also helps us to maintain good relations with local communities and other stakeholders.

Here at Vertex Holiday, we believe that sustainable tourism practices can make a positive impact on the environment, culture, and local communities. We are dedicated to promoting these practices and strive to continuously improve our sustainable tourism offerings. We welcome suggestions and feedback from our clients and stakeholders on how we can further promote sustainable tourism in the industry in Nepal.
