Introduction - Why make a charter (s)?
Our goal is to unite around a more respectful alternative tourism while allowing to reduce the impacts of our activities on the environment .
We are all volunteers to change our behavior, integrate it into our daily practices and accept eco-constraints to encourage others (our neighbors, our employees, ...) to do like us. Indeed, associating "protection" and "respect for nature" is not incompatible with tourist activity and especially Ecotourism activity. Therefore, it is imperative today for us to manage our business in a sustainable way.
This charter allows us to establish an environmental approach and sustainable; within our ecotourism structure, respecting our sustainable , mandatory and progressive .
Indeed, at DAR EL AIN we have reversed the trend and we tend to find a balance between creating collective wealth , limit the impact of our activity on our living environment and contribute better to social progress and thus, on the one hand, gain the confidence of our local partners (local population, local suppliers, local authorities ...), and encourage them to follow us from there on the other hand, to transmit this trust to our customers and to future generations.
Sustainability has become a logic of local action on our activities and even on our financial diagram.
