Chinafaces carefully adopts a concept of sustainable responsible travel to reflect “all of our services
in which the main motivation is the observation and appreciation of nature,
that contribute to the conservation of, and that generate minimal impacts upon
the natural environment and the rich Chinese cultural heritage".
We think a combination of your motivations and the types of destinations and
attractions we offer to our clients can distinguish our experiences from other companies offering travel to China.
We are working hard to offer a unique form of responsible tourism.
Travel with Chinafaces minimizes negative impacts on the natural and socio-cultural
environment and contributes to the conservation of natural areas by:
-generating economic benefits for host communities, organizations, and authorities
managing natural areas for conservation purposes;
-providing alternative income opportunities for local communities; and
-increasing awareness of natural and cultural assets among local people and
tourists.
Exploring many remote rural regions in China we visit represent a great opportunity
in several ways:
a. Providing direct benefits in the form of alternative income, business and
job opportunities, as well as indirect benefits, such as development of infrastructure,
health and education services for poorer communities living off the beaten track; like in Guizhou, Yunnan, Qinghai, Sichuan and Ningxia.
b. Diversifying our offers, thus alleviating conventional and often congested
tourism areas, as well as ensuring a more even geographic and social distribution
of tourism benefits;
c. Providing opportunities to learn about unique Chinese environments and traditional
cultural values;
d. Providing viable organisational and economic tools for the conservation of
protected and other natural areas Chinafaces is with humble means trying to help develop.
Our service is a combination of leisure and travel in which conservation and
development should effectively blend to achieve a mutual goal for the benefit
of our host communities. It can bring out a better quality China trip, such as its capacity to create some wealth in the poorest regions,
where travel is one of the rare activities capable of supporting traditional
farming and agriculture, which are disappearing at some speed.
We hope to offer new openings for these activities like for handicrafts and the
local building industry for example. It contributes to lightening the burden of the most
heavily indebted areas and to indirectly finance the needs of the people there.
And above all, it creates jobs - jobs at the level where they
are most needed, unskilled as well as more highly skilled jobs, jobs in remote rural
areas that are ideal for supporting biking, hiking and other discovery experiences, thus preventing the
tragedy of marginalization and the forced migration of young able people.
Our travel experts look forward to experience the real cultural diverse and natural
places of China with you!
