At World Vegan Travel, we’re all about spreading positivity, exploring the world, savoring delicious plant-based cuisine and making new like-minded friends. We’re thrilled to have you join us on this adventure of a lifetime!
To ensure everyone has a fabulous time, we’ve put together a Code of Conduct to make our journey smooth sailing.
So, let’s dive in:
In fostering an environment of inclusivity and mutual respect, we kindly request that all interactions with fellow travelers, tour leaders, guides, drivers, local partners and local communities reflect the values of kindness, compassion and humility.
Capturing memories is a cherished part of our travels. Please remember to seek permission before photographing people especially those not in our group, and refrain from taking pictures of children at all (for child protection purposes and the fact they cannot give informed consent).
We understand that some of our travelers may prefer not to appear on social media or in photographs at all. If this applies to you, please communicate your preferences with your fellow travelers. If you find yourself in a photo on social media that you’re not comfortable with, please don’t hesitate to address it with the individual who posted it. We all respect your desire to have some control over your image and we will all surely do our best to respect your preferences.
In cultivating a positive atmosphere, let us refrain from engaging in language, discussions or behavior that is or may be perceived as discriminatory, offensive or controversial. In these divisive and sometimes upsetting times, be mindful of political discussions and how other group members may feel about them..
Our trips are led by experienced Group Leaders whose decisions are final in matters concerning the safety, well-being and enjoyment of all participants. Your cooperation and respect for their authority are greatly appreciated. In the event that a traveler’s interactions or behavior are not adhering to the code of conduct, the group leader will have a quiet word with them to remind them of the code of conduct and what should be expected moving forward and a warning that you may be asked to leave the trip in case of repeated behavior. In the case of very serious concerns like abuse, violence or illegal acts, you may be asked to leave the trip immediately without warning as per our booking terms and conditions.
We kindly ask everyone to take proactive measures to minimize the risk of illness transmission during our trip. This includes wearing masks and respecting the space of others, if suffering from cold or flu-like symptoms.
Our carefully crafted schedule aims to maximize our experience in the destination at a pace that we believe most people will enjoy. To achieve this, it’s vital that we stick to the scheduled meeting times. While external factors like transport delays or meal durations may occur that we cannot control, we can control our own punctuality. Please be fully prepared to depart at the scheduled meeting times. Your punctuality ensures we collectively make the most of our time at our destination. Group leaders may have a quiet word with you to remind you of the importance of punctuality if frequently late.
No activity is compulsory, so feel free to opt out or take breaks as needed. If you find the pace challenging or too slow, let us know. We might be able to adjust and make reasonable accommodations for you or provide more information based on your needs to help you make informed decisions for future activities.
We are delighted to welcome our vegan-curious travelers! We kindly ask that you respect that you ‘stay vegan’ when you are with or near the group. Please feel free to ask genuine questions about the lifestyle but we do ask that you refrain from debating a vegan’s choices. We’re on a vegan vacation to have a break from that.
Should you find that the trip is not meeting your expectations, please don’t hesitate to have a quiet chat with your tour leader at your earliest convenience so we have the opportunity to rectify, explain or clarify. Also, if you have witnessed or experienced behavior that is upsetting or does not adhere to the code of conduct , we do invite you to have a conversation with your tour leaders who may decide to take further action. We want you to have a wonderful vacation.
We’re excited to embark on this adventure together and create memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you for your cooperation, and let’s make this journey one to remember!
