WHAT IS SMALL CHANGE
At INTRO we do our best to make sure that we travel responsibly and make a positive difference to the people we meet and the places we go. To do this, we have created our own
socially conscious initiative called Small Change.
THE 4 PILLARS OF SMALL CHANGE
PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
At INTRO we do our best to make sure that we travel responsibly and make a positive difference to the people we meet and the places we go. To do this, we have created our own socially conscious initiative called Small Change.
SUPPORTING LOCAL COMMUNITIES
Every INTRO tour provides a meaningful, positive impact on the communities we visit. When our group members book a tour with us, most of that money goes to the local operators and transport and accommodation providers. So just by going there we are already supporting the local communities.
CULTURAL EXCHANGE AND EDUCATION
Whether it’s visiting a school for young monks in Sri Lanka, doing a cooking class in Thailand, visiting a local village in Mexico to learn about textile making, or learning origami and noodle-making in Japan, our group members will have authentic hands-on experiences and make meaningful connections with the local people they meet.
ANIMAL WELFARE AND CONSERVATION
We want to ensure that any interactions we might have with animals are ethical and in no way harming or causing stress to the animals.
We regularly assess all activities or destinations that involve animals and ensure that the places we choose to go and the local operators we choose work with put the welfare of animals first.
