Commitment to Responsible Tourism
In 2021, we committed ourselves to becoming a Responsible Tour Company. As part of this effort, we realigned our products and services to align with the principles of ‘Responsible Tourism’ and became a member of the ‘RTSOI – Responsible Tourism Society of India.’ We believe it is our duty to be responsible towards our environment and society, which is why we are committed to reducing our carbon footprint as much as possible. We have resolved to maximize benefits for the local community while protecting our culture, environment, and local economy. At Tornos, we are aware of the impact we have on the environment, local citizens, and our cultural heritage. Simultaneously, we also focus on educating our visitors about being responsible tourists, encouraging them to contribute to responsible tourism as well.
