Responsible Tourism Policy

Kalimantan Tour Destinations (KTD) aims to bring ecotourism to Central Kalimantan as a way of protecting the environment and creating alternative livelihoods. We intend to demonstrate that business can be a vehicle to support development problems by providing alternative livelihoods and demonstrating that there is a different value for the forest brought about by eco-tourism.  

KTD has created a market through offering enjoyable jungle cruises serving delicious food with excellent service, journeying into natural surroundings whilst educating our guests about the environment, local traditions and culture, and by engaging directly and supporting the community to develop their own ecotourism as guides, home stay hosts and handicraft producers.

It is important to us that local people benefit from this enterprise, we have a policy to recruit and train our staff from the local community. We have a staff development and training plan to encourage career advancement. We ensure that our staff are well paid, receive performance bonuses and have health insurance.

We have a policy of not buying our own canoes, speedboats, but hire these directly from the local community to ensure that they are gaining direct benefits from the tourists that we attract.

We support the local Sangars (village musicians and dance groups) by encouraging our guests to take part in lessons or watch their performances.

We buy all our food for the trips locally and do not import food.

Once we are profitable we aim to provide 20% of our profits for micro-credit enterprises.
