At Aqua Tours, responsible travel is more than a promise — it’s a core principle. Our Responsible Travel Policy is designed to support local communities, protect the environment, and respect cultural heritage across all our tours in Egypt. Every aspect of our work reflects these sustainable travel values, creating a positive impact for both our guests and the destinations we cherish.
We work directly with local guides, drivers, and staff to ensure our tours contribute meaningfully to the local economy. Guests are encouraged to support artisans by buying handcrafted items such as papyrus, carpets, perfume, and silver or gold jewelry.
We invest in our team’s growth through training programs in leadership, emotional intelligence, languages, and tourism practices. In addition, we choose hotels and cruise operators that meet strict safety and quality standards to ensure our guests enjoy both comfort and peace of mind.
Aqua Tours actively protects the natural beauty of every site we visit. We follow a strict “leave no trace” policy — no litter, no damage. Our staff meets weekly to assess and reduce environmental impact, addressing issues like waste disposal and noise levels.
Our guides enforce a no-smoking rule during tours and help raise awareness about coral reef conservation in the Red Sea. Guests learn why avoiding contact with coral is essential. We also prioritize eco-lodges and sustainable resorts in locations like Dahab and Marsa Alam.
We educate travelers about local customs, dress codes, and traditions, encouraging respectful interactions. Aqua Tours hires from local communities and offers youth training programs in the tourism sector each summer, creating future job opportunities.
We’re also committed to accessible tourism. Our specialized tours for travelers with disabilities ensure that everyone can experience Egypt comfortably and safely.
Responsible Travel Policy isn’t just a concept at Aqua Tours — it’s how we operate every day. Join us in making tourism a force for good while creating unforgettable, meaningful travel experiences.
