SUSTAINABILITY
Borneo Sustainable Tours: Exploring Nature's Treasures Responsibly
Borneo is renowned for its stunning tropical rainforests and unique wildlife. At Come2Borneo, we understand the significance of preserving this natural paradise. We actively participate in local projects to protect the island’s wildlife and combat deforestation. However, only a small portion of the forest is currently protected. That’s why we rely on the support of responsible tour operators and travelers like you to fight climate change and preserve this precious ecosystem.
Sustainable or responsible tourism has become increasingly important in the recent years. Come2Borneo creates sustainable tours and travellers stay more often in eco-friendly accommodations. Many travellers are still unexperienced with sustainability and do not think about the impact of their trip. We believe that small businesses can reduce the big impact. We show our travellers the impact of their footprints and how to behave during visiting Borneo and their culture.
Responsible Travel: Leave Nothing but Footprints
As advocates of responsible travel, we believe in making a positive contribution to the development of Borneo. We encourage our travelers to be conscious of their impact and make sustainable choices throughout their journey. By staying in eco-friendly accommodations and practicing responsible behavior, we can minimize our carbon footprint and support the local economy. Our goal is to inspire our travelers with sustainable actions that demonstrate the importance of preserving Borneo’s culture and natural heritage.
