Social Responsibility With Our Inca Trail Porters
At AB Expedition, we uphold the value of recognizing and appreciating the indispensable role played by our Inca Trail porters. As part of our commitment to ethical and responsible tourism practices, we prioritize fostering a sense of community and solidarity within our team.
One of the ways we demonstrate this is through regular meetings with our porters, where we not only discuss logistical aspects of our expeditions but also take the opportunity to share meals together. This gesture of breaking bread, so to speak, symbolizes our shared journey and mutual respect.
Moreover, we understand the importance of supporting our porters and their families beyond their salaries. That’s why we go the extra mile by providing essential food items such as panettone, rice, sugar, and noodles, which can help alleviate some of the financial burdens they may face.
While it’s true that our porters receive fair compensation for their hard work, we believe in extending a helping hand whenever possible. It’s not just about fulfilling our business obligations but also about embodying the values of empathy, generosity, and solidarity that define our approach to responsible tourism.
In essence, our interactions with our porters go beyond mere transactions; they exemplify a deeper sense of camaraderie and appreciation for their invaluable contributions to our endeavors. We recognize that without their dedication and perseverance, our business would not thrive, and we remain committed to nurturing a supportive and respectful relationship with them.
