Intrepid Travel comes to Bangladesh

~story by Mikey Leung~

Award-winning Australian tour operator Intrepid Travel is coming to Bangladesh (click here to see the new itinerary).

This is big news, considering that Intrepid is one of the world’s leading Responsible Travel (RT) operators, having won the ‘Best Overall Tour Operator’ award from the UK’s Responsible Tourism awards in 2006.

Some words from their website on the matter:

For the past 18 years we’ve maintained a commitment to responsible and sustainable travel. We work with communities by establishing local businesses, we train and use local operators and we always ensure that our travellers really interact with the locals in their host communities.

By travelling responsibly we’re working to ensure that these incredible places, fascinating cultures and wonderful people are here to greet us in years to come. We’re empowering the local communities and creating richer, real life experiences for travellers.

Having been a tour leader with Intrepid previously, I’m proud to say that Intrepid really does put its money where its mouth is—they are one of the industry leaders when it comes to Responsible Tourism, having, since their inception, used the potential of travel to benefit local communities in the process. At Joybangla,info, it is our belief that tourism can and will help Bangladesh, and if done right, local communities will be the benefactors of our work. To have Intrepid Travel coming to our corner of the world is a giant leap forward from where we stand.

Be one of the first to join us on Intrepid’s maiden journey in Bangladesh!
