The preservation of the environment can only be achieved by educating and heightening public awareness of the local populations. Yet, only when the local community realizes that tourism can provide them with jobs and help improve their living conditions do people really set out to preserve nature. One may therefore talk of sustainable tourism.
Here is the link between ecotourism and sustainable development. Ilay Tours is a team of eco-professionals who will look after your entire travel/expedition needs in Madagascar. We specialize in tailor-making your holiday to your requirements.
Apart from our eco-aware team, we employ local workers during our trips to return maximum profits to the local communities.
At least 30% of our price will be spend on salaries for the local labour (along the way) and services to contribute to the local development and ecology.
Ecolodging is not yet developed in Madagascar, but we try to give you the maximum eco-lodging (if you want) possible during your stay
Madagascar is a wildlife sanctuary. A great many plant and animal species are unique to this part of the world and cannot be found elsewhere. Our major concern is therefore to help preserve nature and we strive to do so by taking part in its people's economic and social development.
