We are working as a company which gives importance to the value and authenticity of our Island. Our goal is to act in a responsible way by reducing hazardous impact for the country and its living elements, as well as engaging our effort to arrange trips in a manner that could make local activities progress as well as preserving the natural wealth of the Island.

ACTIONS AND LOCAL COOPERATION:

Reforestation in the eastern part of the Island: We devote a great attention to the fact that deforestation is a threat for several parts of Madagascar.  Working with local organizations is now an opportunity not just for the environment, but for our guests to leave their footprint by contributing to a responsible initiative. Five tree nurseries are dedicated to each guest to plant. This helps obtain a kind of forest corridor as well as combining different species to strengthen genes for more resilient trees. Furthermore, it helps sustain the land and compensate bush fire and slash and burn practice. In that present case, the cooperation between an Association in Andasibe called “Mitsinjo” and Malagasya Travel has been undertaken for years and carries on until this present moment.

Sustainable hotel cooperation: In one hand, working with hotels which meet the standards is a great initiative. But on the other hand, extending more collaboration with those which are recognized as sustainable is crucial. Those which are supporting local benefits such as including local people’s activities in their touristic program or those which are giving importance to the preservation of biodiversity on-spot as well as purchasing foods in the locality for the bio concept as “Souimanga Hotel” in Antsirabe for instance or another one in the south part of the country “Le Paradisier” which has preserved a fauna and flora area where endemic species are found and protected. Other hotels are assisting organizations for the protection of some sensitive and preserved areas.
