SUSTAINABILITY
Myanmar Educational Expeditions (MEX) , managed by Mira Travels which was a prestigious Travelife Partner, values our commitment to achieve our goals in sustainability. We believe that the responsible practice of sustainable tourism will create the positive effects on local communities, while it will reduce negative social and environmental impacts of tourism.
Supporting Child Safe Tourism
MEX commits a strong responsibility towards children and is a proud supporter of Child Safe Tourism campaign. The campaign aims to equip our travellers with knowledge and information on simple things one can do to become a child safe traveller.
Encouraging Animal Friendly Journeys
Our team at MEX love animals as much as you do and want to protect them. Thus we enable our travellers to make informed decisions about animal experiences on your journey - show respect to the animals.
Promoting Community Based Tourism
When developing our tour programs, we keep in mind to include responsible activities. MEX and Mira Travels support CBI Netherland / UN-ITC’s community based tourism projects in Kayah State and Dawei Region of Myanmar. Through our "good" Sustainable Travel Myanmar programs, tourists will enjoy the opportunity to learn authentic and unspoiled cultures of Myanmar’s some minority people. We firmly believe that our products will contribute positively to economy of local ethnic communities beyond sightseeing.
Contributing To Local Value Chain
Whenever possible, we use services of reliable local suppliers such as boats, restaurants, souvenir shops and local tour guides to support their incomes. In our tours, we integrate green activities such as walking, bicycling and taking a trishaw or horse carts etc to reduce carbon footprint.
