It is important that we do things today in a way that ensures we can enjoy visiting these places long into the future. Graham’s Orkney Tours therefore encourages guests to be responsible travellers and will strive for sustainable tourism in the following ways:
- I'm committed to minimising Graham’s Orkney Tours' carbon footprint. I operate modern fuel-efficient vehicle to minimise environmental impact.
- Guests are encouraged to have a minimal impact on the areas visited to ensure that the local environment is preserved. We will always follow rules and guidelines around protecting unique and/or endangered wildlife and habitats.
- Cultural/historic monuments, buildings, structures, and artefacts will be admired and examined at an appropriate distance to maintain their integrity.
- Guests are encouraged to use refillable water bottles and to bring these with them on tour.
- Graham’s Orkney Tours strives to ensure that no litter is left behind at destinations.
- Feeding and approaching wildlife on tour, unless explicitly permitted and supervised by appropriate ranger/farmer/handler, is discouraged.
- Supports local economies by encouraging clients to visit local businesses to and to pay a fair price.
