Responsible Tourism

INTRODUCTION

Celticos appreciates that as a modern company we must consider our impact on the world, whether that be an Environmental, Economic or Social impact. We understand that for many of our customers, responsible tourism is an important consideration. On the other hand, we also recognize that responsible tourism is a relatively new idea that will take time to develop fully. Not all of the activities offered by us have a definitive policy related to 'Responsible Tourism' but we hope that our partners and suppliers will see the importance of this aspect of tourism and this will be reflected in their working policies in the future. 

The tourism industry is one of the world’s largest industries, bringing both domestic and international visitors to other people’s places – their community, their culture and their natural and built environment. Tourism is also an extremely diverse industry, ranging from highly developed mass tourism, in usually highly altered and ‘constructed’ environments (e.g. Disneyland), through to tourism that relies more on the inherent natural and cultural features of an area to attract tourists.

Even though the guidelines and principles of Responsible Tourism are universal, every single country and even specific destinations/particular holidays should have their own separate policies.

For examples of our Responsible Tourism policies for the activities we offer in North Wales, please use the Responsible Tourism Wales link below:
