View DiveNewsWire Press Release
Travel by its very nature has an impact - often negative - on the environment, on the cultures and on the economies of local people who play host to tourism throughout the world. This is why sustainable travel - travel that leaves the world a better place for us having been there - is essential to help maintain a healthy balance between providing a means to enjoy the journey while at the same time protecting the very resources that attract us to lands near and far in the first place.
Indian Valley Travel, a leader in sustainable and accessible travel, will be attending DEMA Show 2011 Booth #1559 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida November 2-5, 2011. The organization, a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation, will be offering unique dive travel packages to dive shops, groups and wholesalers that are centered around “adventure voluntourism:” traveling to an exotic dive destination and be directly involved in a volunteer project that helps the local community but also have time to for diving or exploring local culture too. “At the heart of everything we do at Indian Valley Travel is our vision … to be the global leader in providing sustainable and accessible adventure "voluntourism" opportunities for purpose-minded travelers,” says David Valaika, Co-founder and Visionary of Indian Valley Travel
Unlike other travel companies who offer a trip or two with a volunteer opportunity, Indian Valley Travel is “deliberately different” with all trips 100% based on new and existing volunteer projects throughout the world. Each trip and destination is rated with for accessibility, ensuring the opportunity for handicapped participants to be directly involved in the efforts. Contributions from trip bookings are tax deductible to the travelers with the trip proceeds going directly to the destination community projects and the company’s partner non-profit organizations like the International Association for Handicapped Divers of the Americas (IAHD Americas)
“Indian Valley Travel offers a "deliberately different" approach to travel - a chance for travelers of every level of ability and interests to give back on every trip. We work with local groups and organizations on a global basis to connect adventure-minded souls with opportunities to improve the quality of life for others and make the world a better place as a result of our efforts,” says David Hartman, Travel Program Coordinator for Indian Valley Travel
