SUSTAINABILITY AND RESPONSIBLE TRAVEL POLICY
Effective Date: 1st September 2025
At Gateway Maroc, we believe that travel should not only inspire and connect people, but also protect the environment, support local communities, and preserve cultural heritage. Our commitment to sustainability guides the way we design our tours, choose our partners, and host our guests.
1. Environmental Responsibility
-
We aim to minimize our environmental footprint by:
-
Encouraging low-impact transportation options where possible.
-
Partnering with accommodations and suppliers that adopt eco-friendly practices.
-
Reducing single-use plastics on our tours (e.g. promoting refillable water bottles).
-
Supporting conservation initiatives in Morocco’s natural areas, including the Sahara and Atlas Mountains.
-
2. Supporting Local Communities
-
We work closely with local guides, drivers, and family-owned businesses to ensure tourism benefits the people of Morocco directly.
-
Our itineraries often include visits to cooperatives (e.g. argan oil, handicrafts, women-led initiatives) to support community livelihoods.
-
We encourage fair wages, ethical sourcing, and respect for workers’ rights.
3. Cultural Preservation
-
We celebrate and promote Morocco’s rich traditions, crafts, and heritage.
-
Our guides share authentic insights into Moroccan life while respecting cultural norms and sensitivities.
-
We discourage exploitative practices (e.g. inappropriate photography, cultural disrespect) and encourage responsible engagement.
4. Traveler Responsibility
We encourage our guests to:
-
Respect local customs, traditions, and dress codes.
-
Conserve resources (water, energy) during their stay.
-
Dispose of waste responsibly and recycle where possible.
-
Choose souvenirs that are locally made and ethically sourced.
5. Continuous Improvement
Sustainability is an ongoing journey. Gateway Maroc will:
-
Regularly review our operations to identify areas for improvement.
-
Partner with organizations working on environmental and social sustainability in Morocco.
-
Listen to traveler feedback and adapt our practices accordingly.
