“Responsible Traveller is committed to promoting tourism products and services that operate in an environmentally responsible manner, offer authentic travel experiences and have a positive impact on local communities”.

Responsible Traveller magazine is a print & online travel publication showcasing responsible tourism destinations. This publication aims to inform, educate, entertain as well as inspire its readers to make informed decisions, manage their impact on the environment and to ‘be the difference’.
Responsible Meetings & Events magazine is a print & online travel publication showcasing responsible destinations for conferences, meetings, events and incentives.
These niche publications are designed to equip readers with the necessary information needed to make informed responsible decisions on Southern African travel destinations and meetings and events facilities.
Responsible Traveller magazine is associated with the Heritage Environmental Management Company.
“We are excited about our association with the Responsible Traveller and look forward to expanding the important role that responsible business and tourism practices have on the region the as a whole,” says Greg McManus, MD of the Heritage Environmental Management Company.
The Responsible Traveller Magazine and the Heritage Environmental Management Company have joined forces in a publication dedicated to the promotion of more responsible business and travel practices in the region. This move is not only a first for southern African but also makes the magazine the only one of its kind in Africa.
The consumer-focussed magazine contains stories and features on tourism news, experiences, products and services and events in southern Africa. Contributing writers come from across the responsible travel spectrum and provide a wealth of experience and insight into the world of responsible tourism.
According to managing editor, Tessa Buhrmann: “Responsible Traveller is proud to be associated with the Heritage Environmental Management Company and together we are committed to promoting tourism products and services that operate in an environmentally responsible manner, offer authentic travel experiences and have a positive impact on local communities”.
From a relatively small beginning Responsible Traveller magazine has grown to become a “must have” among a growing number of aware travellers and readers.
The magazine makes an ideal in-room alternative to the often tired and irrelevant publications that most hotels offer an increasingly bored market. Members of the Heritage programme are encouraged to place a copy in each bedroom in an effort to highlight the efforts they are making in creating sustainable destinations, but also to raise awareness of responsible travel in general.
