Responsibe Travel
Travel offers a raft of benefits to the communities, cities and countries we visit, as well as to the travellers who explore with us. These include economic benefits and an increased cultural awareness. However, these must be closely managed to mitigate any negative effects on the local environment and people.
At Sindbad Jordanian Tours Travel we are committed to following and continually developing responsible travel practices both on the road and in our Amman and Petra offices. At Sindbad Jordanian Tours Travel, we actively promote responsible travel practices within the company and to our travellers and suppliers.
Our mission is to offer young travellers the holiday of a lifetime without it costing the earth. Our trips are delivered in a professional, caring and responsible manner ensuring we are the global leaders in youth travel.

Charity
Here at Sindbad Jordanian Tours Travel we regard charitable activities as an important part of our social responsibility. We actively encourage staff to take part in these activities and suggest new causes for us to get behind.
We are currently on the hunt for an official Sindbad Jordanian Tours charity; one that fits with the Sindbad Jordanian Tours philosophy and that our staff and travellers will be proud to support. If you have a charity close to your heart that you think would fit well with our philosophy, please feel free to send us your recommendation to Sindbad Jordanian Tours Travel -charity.
