Authentic Asia™'s Declaration: we totally comprehend that responsible travel is the concrete foundation for a company in this sector to develop sustainably and to create long-term values for society. Thus, we put a high emphasis on this mission and we are oriented to build and contribute to responsible tourism.
We are not only a reliable partner for any tourism agent but also a reliable friend to society as a whole.
Unlike the popular belief that tourism is a green and no smoke industry, we as an experienced DMC especially in Indochina are fully aware of both positive and negative impacts of our operations on the surrounding environment. As a result, we are working towards a greener kind of travel within our business
Responsible tourism in Authentic Asia™’s sense is more than just a commitment toward nature. What we aim at has a broader scope, which includes the responsibility to promote a comprehensive ecosystem among the host destinations, other travel partners, and our labor force with a view to creating harmony between tourism and natural environment.
This is an important goal that is clearly stated in our mission. Each employee of Authentic Asia™ deeply understands and strictly follows the guideline for the sake of responsible tourism as they are all well trained and inspired once they enter Authentic Asia™.
We are not only a reliable partner for any tourism agent but also a reliable friend to society as a whole.
