Sahara Travel Tours

Social Tours, Social Treks, and Nepal VolunTourism
When we discuss the role of business in the improvement of society as a whole and in the realm of VolunTourism, in particular, it is important to have some examples in the market space to which we may refer. Social Tours and its companion firm, Social Treks, represent such examples. In fact, they have a "social mission" that reads as follows: To operate the company in a way that actively recognizes the central role that business plays in the structure of society by initiating ways to improve the quality of life of a broad community: local, national and international.

Underlying the mission of Sahara worldwide travel and tours is the determination to seek new and creative ways of addressing all three parts, while holding a deep respect for individuals, inside and outside the company, and for the communities of which they are a part. All business that Sahara worldwide travel and tours does is based on the following values:

respect for every individual
Businesses are like families. Every person has a different role to play which when played well, will create a happy family. Every person in the family deserves respect and each and every issue the players have require special attention.
 
honesty & integrity
Honesty is the best policy. An open, honest business will always make steady progress, however slow. Also, honesty always pays dividends.

continued excellence in delivery
Quality is never to be compromised. It is the strongest marketer of products and the only element which creates lasting impressions. Quality can always be improved on.

social responsibility of business
Every business has a commitment towards society as a whole as businesses would not be there if society was not there. Giving back to society is the only way businesses can fulfill this commitment.

money is never the only goal
Profits and money have to be made but never by means that go against values. Making a business successful is a Dharma (a spiritual good) for the society, the workers and the family and results in a good Karma

importance of environmental conservation
The environment is our greatest asset and needs preservation. Exploiting nature is short term and yields unsustainable dividends whereas protecting nature yields spiritually rewarding and sustainable dividends.
