At Handspan, we believe that responsible tourism can only be achieved through strong collaboration with our local partners and service providers. This General Code of Good Practice outlines the shared principles we expect all excursion providers, suppliers, and partners to follow in order to minimize negative impacts and maximize positive contributions to people, culture, and the environment.

This Code of Conduct reflects Handspan’s commitment to sustainability and is aligned with internationally recognised responsible tourism standards, including Travelife.

By working with Handspan, providers acknowledge the importance of responsible tourism and commit to operating in a way that benefits local communities, protects the environment, and delivers meaningful travel experiences.
