Raretours introduce a new way to look at tourism by promoting real travel experiences that minimizes the negative impacts on the environment and increase the positive ones.
There's a lot more to be gained from vacations than just ticking of a box 'been there, done that'. Returning from what may have been a relaxing holiday knowing you've minimised your tourist impact or perhaps a fully involved environmentally/conservation project which benefits local people, the enviroment will give you an enormous sence of achievement and plus you'll come away with the feel good factor
If you travel for relaxation, fulfilment, discovery, adventure and to learn, then Raretours is for you.
We have created a documentary to highlight enviromental issues on Koh Tao, Thailand.
With the help of Eco Koh Tao, the film "Cause & Effect" is now being shown at a film festival - Washington DC in March 2011.

Thailand has banned diving at seven marine parks popular with tourists to try to protect deteriorating coral reefs.The ban - which is to last indefinitely - applies to some 22 locations in the parks where 'bleaching' covers 80 percent or more of the coral reefs. The recovery of the coral will be monitored before the ban is lifted and Raretours will contribute towards this.
