We at Adventure & Fun Albania, believe that sustainable travel has the potential to have a large positive impact on our guests, our local suppliers and the environment.

Since our founding we have been welcoming small groups of travellers to Albania and the Western Balkans, showing them the best that the area has to offer. We have always had a sustainable approach towards travel, with activities that give back to the places and communities that we visit. We use local suppliers, stay in locally run family-owned accommodations, eat at local restaurants, and more than 90% of the food served during our trips is sourced locally.

We believe that the sustainable tourism industry is the best chance our country has to regenerate our nature, and to undo the many years of environmental damage that were caused by the unfortunate economic and political realities of our past.

Since our founding, we have worked to introduce regenerative tourism to Albania, and to have a positive impact on our environment, but we can’t ignore that we are part of a larger industry with a huge negative impact on our planet.

Reducing this negative impact is a challenge everyone in the travel industry is faced with and acknowledging the seriousness of the environmental situation is an important step to overcoming this challenge. For this reason, we are declaring a climate emergency.

Tourism declares a climate emergency:

By declaring an emergency with Tourism Declares, we are publicly committing to the following five actions:

1. Develop a Climate Action Plan
In the next 12 months we will publish a Climate Action Plan, taking into account the regional peculiarities and other problems in our unique setting. This plan will be adopted by us as soon as possible.
2. Sharing our commitment and progress publicly every year
We plan to share our commitment to the cause of responsible travel at length on our website.
We inform our guests, and suggest ways in which they can reduce their environmental impact while travelling and how they can offset their carbon emissions.

3. Cutting carbon emissions
We accept the need to cut global carbon emissions to help battle climate change.
In order to combat this threat, we use renewable energy as much as possible, and have started a program to plant enough trees to offset the carbon emissions of our entire activity.

4. Work together with suppliers and partners
We actively encourage our suppliers and partners to reduce their carbon emissions, reduce plastic consumption and adopt sustainable tourism practices.

5. Advocating for change
We recognise the need for change across the industry to accelerate a transition towards carbon-free tourism.
