We encourage guests to sign <a href="https://pledge.visiticeland.com/">The Icelandic Pledge</a> from <a href="https://www.visiticeland.com/">Visit Iceland</a> to be a responsible tourist.</p><p><strong>Trusted Partners: </strong>When using partners to operate certain elements of our tours or promoting partners tours we ensure that they follow our values for the highest level of customer service and respect for the Icelandic environment and community.</p><p><strong>Creating a Responsible Culture:</strong> From our hiring process, our ongoing team meetings and training to our ‘marketing voice’ in our blogs, social media and all our communication with our guests we aim to spread environmental awareness, educate about issues we face in Iceland and create practical, impactful and inspirational engagement in responsible sustainability in Iceland.</p><p><strong>Partnerships:</strong> We are working closely with our local DMOs (Destination Management Organisations) <a href="https://www.south.is/">Visit South Iceland</a>, <a href="https://visitreykjavik.is/">Visit Reykjavík</a> and <a href="https://www.visiticeland.com/">Visit Iceland</a> to ensure we are part of voice of tourism in Iceland and have the latest knowledge of tourism sustainability and development.
