Eco Tour Agency

International Expeditions is committed to responsible tourism, or ecotourism, and strive to thoroughly understand each place we go in order to minimize our impact on it. To do this we select and train exceptional local guides, who accompany our guests every step of the way. We share with them an appreciation for the natural and cultural history of their homelands. We impress our mission upon our service providers too, so that they can participate in conservation initiatives.

Our Conservation Mission

Our mission is creating a partnership — not dependency — so that the communities and people we work with are empowered. Working with locals on the ground in the countries we explore gives our team an insider’s perspective on the daily challenges of life in Earth’s wildest ecosystems. This understanding and partnership helps us create effective, long-term health and education solutions that ensure lasting opportunity for local people while conserving local environments.

Responsible tour operators like International Expeditions, working in partnership with our guests, can be a driving force behind conservation and education efforts aimed at stabilizing fragile environments. Tourists spend $200 billion in developing countries every year. Inspired by your adventure and the warm, inviting people you encounter, you too can join IE to have a positive, sustainable impact in the places we explore.

To honor our guests’ contributions to worldwide conservation, health and education, International Expeditions will match guest contributions up to $50,000 each year.
