Tour operators are local travel companies, transport companies, cruise companies, co-operatives, families, households,...who operate certain part of our tours and travel packages within the locality. While AdventureGreen directly operates the core of our travel operations, tours and package holidays; we do need local business partners assisting us with some of our local services.
Red Dao in Sapa Vietnam
Working with the locals, we trust, brings benefits to everyone involved: the locals have the share of income from local tourism, hence more aware of protecting the local tourist attractions and the environment; AdventureGreen gets cheaper costs and less wheeling and dealings with local formalities, hence more efficient in our operations; the travellers get cheaper travel prices and in many cases, get more into understanding the local life and culture. In the long terms, working with the local businesses and families makes local tourism more sustainable. In our understanding and experience, there is no responsible travel and no sustainable tourism without getting the locals involved.

AdventureGreen is well aware that there are obstacles that keep a local travel business from providing quality service sustainably: lack of training and professionalism, language barrier, looking for quick profits only, difficulties understanding the travellers' need due to culture difference, lack of infrastructures and facilities...
AdventureGreen understands our business partners in different localities and we do look for opportunities to work with more good partners as our business grows. This is by no means we keep changing partners. It is just that when we have more business, then there should be more good local partners that benefit from it. AdventureGreen treasures all the long-term relationships. We trust those that we could work with in the longest terms are the bests!
Black Hmong in Sapa
If you own a travel business or if your family is involved in tourism in your neighborhood and if you committed to providing quality service in the long terms with competitive and value-based prices, then there is a good chance that you could be one of AdventureGreen's local tour operators. AdventureGreen looks for quality service for competitive prices; we do not expect cheap prices in exchange for low quality services. AdventureGreen is a good quality service travel company and we work with the good local tour operators only.
A Homestay in Hoa Binh Vietnam
AdventureGreen is a responsible travel company and we expect our local tour operators to operate our services based on responsible and sustainable tourism. We treasure the fact that those travel businesses who respect their social responsibilities to their staff, the local culture and traditional values, the environment are those that respect their business partners and clients.
In our experience in the travel industry, those companies that treat their staff badly are those who do not have happy clients; those who do not respect the natural environment and who do not respect the traditional values in the neighborhood are those who fail to pass on the bests of the localities to our travellers. AdventureGreen are not prepared to work with them.
We trust the fact that only those companies, whose work is based on passion and enthusiasm to make the trips and holidays of the foreign guests in their neighborhood unforgettable experiences, are those most efficient and innovative among the crowd, they are whom we keep hunting for in the long terms.
