Altaï Travel works for more responsible tourism and is committed to organizing trips that respect fair and sustainable principles.

• A fair distribution of economic benefits
  
• Improvement of working conditions for local teams and raising their awareness of environmental protection
  
• Informing travelers about respecting local populations and the environment, and collecting their feedback upon return
  

• Avoid leaving waste behind: dispose of it in bins or take it with you
  
• Use drinking water sparingly (prefer showers to baths and report leaks) and avoid wasting it (prefer biodegradable soaps for washing, etc.)
  
• Avoid damaging cultural sites: do not touch statues, do not move stones or objects, etc.
  
• Prefer exchanges over donations (gifts that are too valuable given the local standard of living can destabilize the local economy)
  
• While walking, especially in fragile ecosystems, observe wildlife from a distance, stay on paths, limit trampling, and do not collect “souvenirs”: refrain from picking rare flowers, collecting fossils, etc.
  
• In some hotels, you will have individual air conditioning. It is strongly recommended to turn it off when you are not in the room to avoid overconsumption of energy and greenhouse gas emissions.
