Dear Andrew,
I have always appreciated the professional manner in which you and your associates work.
If people want meaningful environmental experiences, whether nature orientated, wildlife, heritage, historical or even social/tourist orientated experiences you always provide a professional and responsive service. This is so valuable in an age of hyper-reality where entertainment is superficial, garish, campaigning and trivializing. In this fast-fix hyper-entertainment culture, tour solutions become quick-fix, sanitized, thoughtless and exploitative of local people, heritage and nature. Clients are sadly manipulated through irrelevant and irreverent experiences that don’t do justice to the rich meaning and heritage that South Africa, and our neighbouring SADC countries, can provide. We need more companies and organisations that function like you do.
Recent global awareness of how human-kind is exceeding planetary boundaries and the destruction of the environment and precious life-support systems, could well strengthen the support you get. The programmes you offer do well to respond to this developing worldwide awareness and need for a more than superficial engagement with issues. Thank you so much and best wishes for future endeavors, With high regard and grateful thanks, Jim. |
