Whether in the wilderness or front country, Be
is dedicated to preserving the places where we live and travel.
Be takes pride in our commitment to the environment and giving back initiatives.
Our core values reflect our purpose of empowering people and communities to embrace
sustainable development through:
- Responsible growth
- Environmental awareness
- Protection of our natural resources
This also means traveling in a way that respects and
honors local people, customs, heritage, religions and culture.
We customarily use local guides and support teams, stay at local-owned lodges, guest
houses and home-stays, eat in locally-operated cafes and restaurants, and when possible
use local products and resources, limit travel and group size and communicate the
need for responsible travel practices to our fellow travelers and the communities
we serve.
Our range of giving back initiatives is designed to help local people and communities
become sustainable and self-sufficient in areas of:
- Education and Health
- Housing and Development
- Employment Opportunities
- Cultural and Environmental Conservation
Be adheres to Sustainable Tourism and Business Practices
and Leave No Trace Principles and outdoor ethics.
- Plan Ahead and Prepare
- Travel and Camp on Durable Surfaces
- Dispose of Waste Properly
- Leave What You Find
- Minimize Campfire Impacts
- Respect Wildlife
- Be Considerate of Other Visitors
