EXPERIENCE

Our Pledge

Transforming Travel.

Sustaining Communities.

When traveling to communities, the impact is usually social rather than environmental. Travelers and Tour Operators should take responsibility for understanding and offsetting any negative impact.

with this in mind, CTA supports the local community by using only local suppliers and businesses and providing a portion of the profits from tours and events to social welfare causes, feeding schemes, and community organizations.
