Being Intentional in Our Actions

Creating a positively impactful journey that meets your aspirations is done intentionally. Thus, we carefully select all our partners based on rigorous criteria of quality and sustainability. Our aim is to transform how journeys are designed, experienced, and lived.

Being Agents of Change Towards Sustainability

Since our inception, we have been committed to bringing about positive and sustainable transformation for our country. We do not just aspire for change; we are passionate about what we aim to achieve. We do not just create journeys; we create journeys to bring about real and tangible change. We also aspire to inspire those around us to engage in this path. As a Travelife certified Tour Operator, we develop an annual sustainable development action plan where we challenge ourselves to go further in our actions.

Supporting Education

“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” – Nelson Mandela.

Our commitment manifests in several ways:

We work closely with select public primary schools to enhance children’s learning environments by renovating classrooms. Each year, we invest in necessary supplies for teachers and students. Additionally, we are in the process of implementing a project for free school canteens in collaboration with one of our partner agencies.

Furthermore, we closely collaborate with application hotels, where all operational revenues contribute to financing training for youth in tourism and hospitality professions.

In the same vein, we offer annual internship opportunities to tourism and other field students, accompanying them in their professional development and growth in a conducive environment.

Valuing Each Individual’s Uniqueness

The management of Gassy Tour has established a professional environment where each individual is valued with their unique contributions. We believe that every member of our team has an essential contribution to make. This philosophy also reflects in our relationships with our travelers: we consider each traveler unique and commit to offering tailored, authentic service and experiences.

Kaizen: A Learning Company Culture

Every journey we design represents an opportunity for growth and learning. We take the opportunity to explore new perspectives, adapt to current challenges, and improve our approach. Thanks to the guidance of Travelife coaches, we have the privilege to transform our way of thinking and practicing our profession, while benefiting from training on crucial topics in the tourism and sustainable development sectors.
