Sustainable tourism is simply the act of making a positive difference to the environment, society and economy of the destinations. Wayfarer Myanmar is working hard to become a Travelife partner and to make the world a better place for travelers, the environment and the local population.

Myanmar is an upcoming tourism destination and Wayfarer Myanmar wants to contribute into making sure the country becomes a green destination, so that future travelers can enjoy the uniqueness and beauty of the country in a responsible and sustainable way.

Therefore our mission is to improve the lives of the locals, their cultures and environment of the destinations, whilst offering the best travel experience possible.

​

​

Our core values are:

• To respect the local cultures

• Maintain the natural environment

• Protecting the wildlife

​

 

At the office of Wayfarer Myanmar we practice several actions to protect the environment. Examples are:

• Usage of reusable glass bottles to reduce plastic                              

• The usage of LED light bulbs to reduce energy

• We create awareness of sustainability with our staff. We encourage them to:

  • Switch off the lights

  • Switching off the air condition when no-one is in the room

  • Print on double sides of the paper

  • Reuse stationaries

• We encourage our partners (hotels, guides, drivers etc.) to promote sustainability

• We buy our products at local shops and encourage our clients and partners to do the same

​
